aburtch<p>The dark pattern I hate the MOST is when you pause a show on <a href="https://triangletoot.party/tags/Roku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Roku</span></a> and after a while it goes to the screensaver. But it you pick up the remote and hit “play,” it hijacks your selection and thinks you hit play on whatever ad they were showing you in the little billboard on the bottom. </p><p>To actually unpause your show you have to hit any other button to get back to the show before unpausing.</p>
