Don't forget the lazy-loading pages that don't properly set their flex box positions so that when you go to click on something a new link pops in at the place you were just about to click that takes you to a different page. I'm tempted to say that this is a dark pattern because when it happens to me is is almost always a "subscribe", "purchase", or "login" button.

> dark pattern I wonder how often dark patterns are the result of goal directed A/B testing? If the goal is set to "did the user click on an advert" - and the A/B changes are fuzzed CSS - then the results would be deviously dark.

Reminds me of how my company is now tracking badge swipe data to try to enforce people going into the office 3 days per week, and sending tickets to managers about their reports who fall short of it.

Someone probably invented it to hit some KPI of number of employees going to the office 3 days per week.

The reality is people are going to the office sick and spreading all kinds of viruses, I often have to take meetings from my car because I can't find a meeting room, among many, many other problems.

But that dude that implemented the system probably got a promotion.

As someone who's learning was significantly accelerated by the "written tutorial" phase of the internet this would be a really great little tool. I find video tutorials to be far more cumbersome than text+ images.

I saw a YouTube video by a guy who specializes in building D&D characters. He spends twenty minutes going into detail on each one, and then makes the pitch for subscribing to his Patreon account with something like "members get all the details in a convenient list so that you don't have to keep going back to this video." So he's using the same bit of friction that this article is trying to solve, to fill his rice bow…

> So he's using the same bit of friction that this article is trying to solve, to fill his rice bowl. You spelled out exactly what the attention economy is about. Friction . The money is made on friction. Waste - of time, of cognitive effort, of emotions good and bad. I feel sorry for this guy, but at the same time, I wish people recognized that attention economy isn't about some nebulous attention you have too much…

the guy deserves to be compensated for his efforts. I think this is a pretty pessimistic take.

Have you considered paying for the patreon regardless because you consume his content one way or another and value it?

I consume hundreds or thousands of creators' content that I value more than this particular channel. If I felt the duty to donate to each one, let alone subscribe , I would consume much less of it and live in a smaller world. Perhaps it is a rationalization, but I don't feel that consuming content that someone offers to me for free creates an obligation on my part, whether I love it or not.

interesting. you can't afford to compensate all of the creators whose content you consume, so none of them shall receive compensation?

there is no obligation, it's just a good and kind thing to do.

It's a little confused about it though.. It's not clear in the gpt version that "balsamic glaze" is what you are making by mixing the ingredients together, and makes it sound rather like some other ingredient you are mixing in. Granted, we have to decipher that a little bit in the first one too, but its not nearly as bad.

It's a balsamic vinegar glaze, which is an ingredient, not what you get when you mix the ingredients together. That's why it refers to a 'balsamic mixture' once it's mixed in with other things. I actually think it's the opposite - the GPT version is clear and the non-GPT version confused you into thinking that a balsamic glaze is Tomato paste. Honey, Lemon, Garlic etc mixed together. This is what you need: https://ww…

I see, well the computer did a fine job then. Now I just think that if your gonna add honey and tomato to it anyway, skip the "glaze" product and just buy good balsamic!
