Seconded. #4 Prioritises the dark pattern of hiding the "Skip" button in an "Add friends" nudge page of an onboarding process.

No thanks.




The issue wasn't that “Skip” was hidden, it was that two default-styled buttons were shown.


And why one should be different than the other ? It's 2 different choices. Making them different risks preferring one to the other.


Because it's their website and they prefer one to the other?


That's a dark pattern and unethical in a lot of situations.


As sibling mentions, the issue is with overusing the default style. Another pattern could be to use a secondary outlined style, making skip as prominent as the default.
