Dark Patterns: A Survival Guidebook

This Creative Thesis is a popularization on the subject of Dark Patterns. Dark Patterns are deceptive functionality implemented online by developers seeking to manipulate users and benefit from their misfortune. They work by using psychological techniques to influence a user’s behavior, like by toying with a user’s emotion. I hope to spread the knowledge of Dark Patterns to as many people as possible. Once people know how Dark Patterns work, Dark Patterns will not be effective on them anymore.
