    I don’t understand, why is a QR code a dark pattern?

    Edit: I have now read the entire Wikipedia page on dark patterns, I didn’t find one that would match.

      Because a qr code is not a url. You might get one flashed, but it’s just like a 40 page eula: the amount of people who are going to pay attention is an order of several magnitudes smaller.
