Airbnb has some of dark patterns that I guess are pushed by the product team and the engineers accept, and that's infuriating as a user, but as an engineer I still have a lot of respect for the Airbnb team's open source work in frontend web tech. They really do know what they're doing and there's a ton to learn from them. You can do that while choosing not to use the company's products.

You are right. I edited my comment to remove the negative sentiment towards the advice itself. I also admire the craftsmanship there. Still, the dark patterns are just increasingly unbearable. Same can be said about many market leaders in other categories.

One of the side-effects of text scaling is content will be pushed further down the page. So if you place promoted content on top as most do, the normal content will fall below the fold. That "small" ad then becomes the only thing the user sees.

They don't actually use their namesake eslint rules.
