The feedback button at the bottom of this page is a vicious dark pattern. It asks you to rate the post, then asks you to spend time writing more details and explaining your thought, and only then tells you it will throw it away if you don't create an account.

I crossed someone in the street a few months ago who handed me some cute little trinket. If you had the reflex to open your hand in response, you'd be informed you have to pay for it. It's for charity, you see.

This whole category of stringing people along into a bait-and-switch so you can extract something out of them, I wish I had a word to describe the precise kind of way it makes me feel.
