You know how it is: You start writing one #blog article, but while writing you come up with an idea for another one. And here it is, how to cancel a #figma subscription:
The recent #UxCollective newsletter had a link for a user research report by #maze, which I wanted to download for my wife, because I have a "fake" #DuckDuckGo email.
I was expecting I could download it "for free" but have to give them my name, company I work at and my email.
A fucked up #DeceptivePattern because something is not for free when you're giving away private information. I want to write about this and ask you to send me your "best" examples of this pattern.
So, apparently when you click on "free trial" button from Voice Dream Reader, you automatically get subscribed to the highest pricing. You then need to find where, in iTunes (huuu???) you can cancel this, and hope, it is actually be cancelled. This is very deceptive.
Also notice how their modal says "November 6" and the apple email says I have to cancel one day before.
So, I suppose that, if I cancel on the 6th, I will be charged? #DeceptivePattern
Behold, the shadiest ecommerce ever: you can't search or use the navigation without creating an account. This is, wow, next level. Why would I create and account, if I don't even know what I can find on your site?
Also, bonus for shitty keyboard accessibility, you have to through the whole rest of the site before being able to get your focus in that damn modal. #BadUX#DeceptivePattern
