This is the true advantage of a competitive marketplace, your parent commenter votes yes to dark patterns where the person who can dodge them wins, and you vote for honest, open checkouts for a higher price. Luckily, you two don't have to agree and as long as there enough of you, both will coexist.

Imagine if you had to agree and compromise on a single airline?

No thanks.

There can be a world where we don't let companies behave in the most abject ways possible.

This is literally a "the bar is in hell" take.

We already live in a world where we don't let companies behave in the most abject ways possible. You just want to force your own values on everyone, and we've already seen that people are at odds with them. You replied to someone who demonstrated their liking to that method, yet you STILL think only your way is right.

No, I think your "true advantage of a competitive marketplace" is the kind of "invisible hand of the free market" stuff I don't care for.
