By now, we are all used to the fact that Capitalism™️ requires businesses to keep coming up with clever new ways to maximize profits by bamboozling consumers, but sometimes the levels of trickery can reach infuriating heights. Some true a-holes out there design products, websites and interfaces not so much to sell us something of actual value, but to trick us into clicking or paying to escape the frustration they've intentionally caused. It is so shady, and yet we still manage to find ourselves clicking those advertisements as eagerly as moths flit to a flame. If you are as pissed off as we are about these jerks, keep scrolling for some maddening examples of a-hole design.

Really…we are paying to get in touch with companies right now? This is some next level greed.

You know companies are reaching new lows when they are tricking people who just want to make the world a better place filled with less plastic garbage. Despicable.
