every website that lets you sign UP on the landing page but have to click through to sign IN belongs in Net Jail
my favorite was the gamestop xbox preorder page that said it would intelligently refresh when it was your turn but there was just a hardcoded 30 second refresh in the page code
@alex it's the konami code of login systems, alex
@alex the dark patterns have won
@alex also the ones where I, an existing customer, am unable to tell from the UI whether I’m signing in or somehow accidentally signing up again with the exact same credentials
"No need to hit refresh! This page will update automatically"
Listen, website, i don't know you like that. what have you done to gain my trust
