Your eyes are drawn to the "Switch Plans" button, with no indication that 'Cancel' is even clickable. Cancel also blends in with other text in the purple area. There is also a question of how well this plays with accessibility software. It's still a Dark Pattern, even if a minor one.

I’m perfectly okay with California suing them, even if Discord’s case is pretty silly. I want California to strike fear into these companies
