However, it further points out the degree to which people are willing to accept terminology invented out of whole cloth *because* of wikipedia. There was no such term in use to mean this until this website showed up and people made a conscious effort to put it in wikipedia. There was no prior rush to pay attention to this person or his site. At that point, because people errantly view wikipedia as an authority on its own, the term starts floating around as if it's real.
And at *that* point, the places that float that term are circularly mentioned (or even cited) back in the original wikipedia page, thus solidifying its supposed relevance. This would only rarely happen in a real encyclopedia, if at all.
Why is something Trump's campaign allegedly did the only specific mention of a dark pattern on this entire page? POV and politics much? — Preceding
