Dark patterns, or deceptive design patterns, are user interfaces that are carefully crafted to trick users into doing things they didn't mean to. They're the reason you lose hours to Instagram, hundreds of dollars to Netflix, or your privacy to Facebook. However, these patterns only work because they're invisible. Once you become aware of their deceptive nature, you can break free from their addictiveness. There is a long way to stop social media addiction.
