Dark pattern: signup to Domestika Plus Bought a course, they signed me up for a free Domestika Plus trial. I'm usually extremely aware of addons they put in my basket. This time, I didn't see it. They probably made it a dark pattern. 30 days later, they charge me $99 for 1 year of Domestika Plus, which I never used. Scummy dark pattern behavior and this was the last time I bought from them. It is telling that in their contact form "I want a refund for Domestika Plus" is actually one of three subjects you can pre-select.

Domestika is a scam Domestika is a scam. Domestika just charged me 90 euros. I did not purchase any plan. Be very careful with Domestika. They have good courses but if you buy a course, they have your card and charge you unlawfully. Careful with their scam. Use a temporary card to pay otherwise they will charge you without your authorisation. Have a look at the amount of people saying that!!!! It's just horrible.

Be careful! They charged me for an annual account without me signing up! I have requested a refund. I am sad about that because I have enjoyed the courses I have had.

The Disillusionment … It's deeply disappointing to see the use of dark UX patterns for basket placements in subscriptions. I once actively promoted this platform, but now I've ceased doing so. The realization of this practice is disheartening. I find myself wishing for a refund for all the courses I've purchased, so I never have to visit the site again. While some of the topics are genuinely interesting...

A dystopian company A dystopian company that will suffer reputational and legal losses from its actions. Yes, they charge you for an annual subscription, but the worst thing is not the fact of this, but the fact that they have no live people in technical support and are completely closed to any communication on social networks. They won't hear your request and will send you template emails dozens of times that won't help you. Also, the fact that you can't delete your payment data from their service is remarkable (their financial department deserves hell for such dark patterns) I don't need a boilerplate response under this review, better provide me with a live person who is able to hear me and conduct the refund process Domestika is a place with good courses, but now I will not recommend it even if all its courses become free for life. Its reputation has been destroyed by itself.
