I would like to inoculate myself against dark patterns. To this end I want videos or web sites that show examples, types, lists, and offending sites.

What I don't want is to see the definition of "dark pattern" a million times, or a dozen videos each with a long explanation of what a dark pattern is followed by one or two examples. So what videos and sites do you know which are about dark patterns that have the best signal/noise ratios?

Practically every business in the world uses dark patterns. By their nature they offer a path of less resistance to getting something.

From a pizza delivery to websites that make you click once to agree cookies but a dozen times to opt out.

The list would be endless. Just decide and stick to your principles, and be concious of instant gratification.
