  Isn't PayPal in itself a dark pattern?

  Most of my online payment transactions happen with credit card or bank transfer anyway ... absolutely no need for PayPal to annoy me by injecting themselves as man in the middle ... such an annoying company.

  hanlon's razor applies here. Sure, it could be some sort of malicious trick to get people to click their ads, ...or it could be because the ad is slow to load.
