@elonmuskADO When someone post something on twitter: it was like a phrase - some tweeted this, or see this tweet.
What do you call these things when you expect people to adapt to X?
@RailMinIndia@NWRailways I'm inside train number 19701.
PNR: 2210068319
Seat Number: CNF/B1/43/UPPER
And this is what we get linen in train. Only blanket and pillow. That too without cover. Nobody is here to reach out. Train is about to depart.
My phone like for many has become unusable because of the nuisance of unsolicited calls, SMS, and WhatsApp messages I didn’t opt-in for. I waste at least 15 minutes a day marking emails as spam because, in many cases, the unsubscribe option is hidden. Then, there are the deceptive UI/UX patterns, which make things even worse. But there seems to be hope around the corner.
The Department of Consumer Affairs recently issued draft guidelines for the prevention and regulation of dark patterns. The guidelines, if implemented, will go a long way in reducing this nuisance. But the regulations can also have a large impact on public and private businesses across D2C businesses, e-commerce, and financial services, including new-age fintechs and banks.
Dark patterns are deceptive practices used to deceive consumers into doing something they don’t want. We all would’ve encountered dark patterns like:
Messages that create false urgency
Use of language that evokes shame, guilt, and other strong emotions
“Basket sneaking” or items that appear in your cart without you adding them.
Hidden or misleading pricing
This is a welcome move but could potentially have a material impact on revenues for many businesses. K (Kailash) and @AA_speaks (Nasscom) discuss why dark patterns persist, regulations, and more with @bebhuvan. You can watch the full conversation on @zerodha's YouTube channel. Link in the comments.
See this happened again. Once you post on social media they'll come running and ask what happened buddy. Replied instantly in DM. But again no response. Pathetic support @ola_supports@Olacabs
@JioCare@reliancejio@JioFiberVoice
Pathetic service. I'm struggling with internet connectivity in Jaipur. Tried calling customer service multiple times, it just goes on hold, nobody picks it up. And 4-5 minutes later call gets auto-cut.
Tried through jio app, it also fails
@oneplus@OnePlus_IN
See what happened right after the latest update. My banking application @ICICIBank@ICICIBank_Care stopped working thinking as its a rooted device. Please look into this and help me resolve this, mutually. Thanks.
