#2While I'm familiar with the site already, I'd love to have an RSS feed of newly added submissions. Unfortunately, when I click on Recently Added I get a list with pattern definition links that all 404, and no link to the actual submission.

#3There's no search but I'm curious if LinkedIn is included. I never took screenshots, unfortunately, but I feel like they've had close to 5 in my own experience alone.

I was going to say, you could read this site, or you could just go to LinkedIn. It's an case study in obnoxious dark patterns.

LinkedIn is one of the most common examples when talking about dark patterns, their most famous being the number of ways they tried to get you to invite your gmail contacts.

#6This kind of "hall of shame" websites are interesting to me. However, most of the regular users do not know nor care about this stuff.
Well, in a semi-ideal world, there would be a comprehensive "hall of shame" database containing the information about the tricks, problems, dark patterns, etc. for all websites. Then, some helper apps or browser extensions could warn us about these issues while a regular user is browsing.
One of the problems with this idea is that it gives a huge authority to the owner of that database and there would be lots of questions about its neutrality.

#8Spirit airlines is a user of dark patterns. But its almost like a game on their site trying to avoid all of the up-sells!
I may stay away from LA Fitness just because of this article.

But you learn more this way, linked in is just frustrating!
A company that tries to be clear on everything is Google, but I still find they morph so rapidly that their documentation is often 2 or 3 generations behind.

I've seen those as an HN lurker. I just like the idea of a central repository like this one.
