hey @teamyoutube, care to comment on this dark pattern in the #youtube app for ios? this is the *second* iteration of it, and it's worse than it was previously.

the outright lie about what the button does makes it a dark pattern. previously, it would only give you chrome and the google app as options, then if you canceled and tried again, safari would become an option. now it gives you a *false* safari option on that first try.

In this case, this is more of an outright lie than a dark pattern. A dark pattern would be more of something along the lines of fine print that would be hard to see but if read, the user would understand why GChrome is being loaded. Here, there's literally no rhyme or reason.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
