In a comment on my post A terrible UX? On the contrary, a brilliant one, Yishay Cohen, a UX expert, pointed out that the described site is a great example of a Dark UX Pattern, and referred me to a site dealing with dark patterns, classifying different such UX into categories. In this site I found (too) many examples of similar practices. This site objective is to “ ‘name and shame’ Dark Patterns and the companies that use them.” So if you enjoyed being annoyed from the never-ending-unsubscribe saga in my post, I am certain you will enjoy being annoyed from the different dark patterns described in this site.
While in my post I described the UX as “Kosher but Stinks” , some of the dark patterns are not even kosher (not to mention the smell).
