> What if every business owner has decided to make their business repulsive, because that's a winning strategy for them?

Can anyone really make that argument though?

You recognize these dark pattern modal boxes that absolutely ruin a site and you feel the complexity. The mom and pop site most assuredly did not invent this, and if they believe they even wanted it is because they were tricked into it.
