I'm donating to a charity through givebutter.com, and after I indicated that I wanted to make a one-time $180 donation, it popped up this prompt.
This boils down to, "If you agree to donate twice as much money as you said you wanted to, it'll have twice the impact!" which is tautological, but presented in a way which IMO is a dark pattern.
This is gross.
#GiveButter #charity #DarkPattern
After clicking the "Keep my $180 one-time gift" button, it opened another pop-up which asked me if I wanted to give a "tip" to GiveButter and if I wanted to cover the processing costs of my donation. Both of these were checked by default! It took multiple not-entirely-obvious steps to undo them both.
Terrible user experience, would not recommend GiveButter.
So in addition to my other complaints about GiveButter, I'm also pissed that they give organizations people's email addresses even when asked not to. 😡

They’re also just straight up lying. They’re not promoting giving “less”, but giving “slower”.
That’s not how less works.
Als ik in de buurt woonde en meer energie had, wist ik het wel: 18 mei een rode lijn trekken in Den Haag om Gaza en de Palestijnen te steunen.
“Stop de politieke, economische en militaire steun aan Israël zolang het de toegang tot hulpgoederen blokkeert en zich schuldig maakt aan oorlogsmisdaden en structurele mensenrechtenschendingen in Gaza en de Bezette Palestijnse gebieden.”
