In case you couldn’t see the actual unsubscribe button, here is the same screenshot with the brightness cranked all the way up to make the text visible.

This is an email from Mass Appeal Records, a record label I apparently subscribed to.

    I hate dark patterns. I leave shitty reviews and call them out every time I see them. Hopefully the more people realize when they’re being manipulated will result in companies facing actual consequences for this kind of bs.

      Quite possibly illegal in the US as well under the CAN-SPAM Act as it stipulates emails must include a clear and easy-to-use unsubscribe mechanism.
