Dark Patterns to Rule Them All
Ever wondered how to subtly manipulate users into doing exactly what you want, without them even realizing? This talk will teach the art of crafting the perfect dark patterns -because why settle for user-friendly when you can create a labyrinth of confusion, guilt, and irresistible tricks? From mind-bending consent forms to the “accidental subscription” masterstroke, learn how to guide users down paths they never intended to walk. But, don’t worry - this isn’t just a guide to evil design.
Along the way, the session will uncover why using these tactics is as morally questionable as a villain monologue, and why ultimately, the best way to “rule them all” is with ethics, transparency, and respect for the user. So, if you’re ready to dive into the shadows (and maybe rethink your design practices), this talk is for you.
