I see a lot of scammy/Grey UI patterns here which remind me a lot of the early successful design patterns I saw in India in 2010-14.

In that situation, after "growth hacking" their way via scam UI and associated revenue in VAS services, carriers had to endure massive losses when a backlash forced government regulation.

I feel like the same thing is likely here, and a massive culling of the scammiest mobile UI trends will occur.



Can you give some examples of these. Interested in reading more about this.
