One of the dark patterns I have experienced is a fake free trial.
Firstly, you get signed up. Then, you fill the information. Later, they ask you for your credit card. Finally, CAPTCHAs that have a 0.01% chance of solving.

Classic bait & switch with the trials. They know u won't remember to cancel. Sneaky way to grab a month's fee or more. Always set a reminder to cancel that stuff, mark it in your phone's calendar the moment u sign up. Also, captchas that you can't even solve? Big red flag for the site's usability, it's like they don't want us there lol.

The deceptive 'free trial' that requires credit card details is a manipulative tactic that preys on users who forget to cancel. It's a clear sign that the company values profit over user experience. Dark patterns like these are unethical and damage a brand's reputation in the long term.
