The term ‘Confirmshaming’ was coined by Harry Brignull, a U.K.-based UX expert. An act of deliberately guilting the user into opting in for a subscription service or entering an email list or the like is known as Confirmshaming. It is a type of Dark UX Pattern where the option to decline a task is worded in a way that shames the user outright. Then this guilt-charged manipulation is used to encourage them to agree to the subscription etc.
