Glad to hear!
It's surprising how toxic some behaviors can be and how I took them for granted in games and apps, some of those pattern are something I implemented myself without much thought in my work too.
This side was an eye opener for me.
Another thought that went through my mind as I read the site is how some of those pattern will never ever land on any mainstream software since they care more for money that people.
I definitely think we can end up unconsciously creating/copying dark patterns.
I need to spend more time browsing the site. Surprisingly, the site is poorly designed for learning. It's pretty but consuming it is difficult. I'd prefer a huge list with examples all on one page.

True, but the content is good enough to let me dig anyway.
What's important is now I'm aware of the existence of the "Humane by design" concept.
From now on I have a new term to search for to aid my self-development journey.

It is remarkable how far a name/concept can go on its own

The right concept is like a key to a treasure chest we didn't know we had.
