It's simple - if your product or platform uses dark patterns, I will not use it. I will even use an inferior platform or product in order to be free to choose how I use my software.

I will, if I have no other option. Say, finding a working VPN service in Russia ... sucks (mostly banned). I think I'll end up with a VDS and an https tunnel.

No, I can't rent a Ukrainian VDS, it might even get me to jail.
