Not trying to mislead existing users into creating new accounts.
It's really annoying that on some websites you have to open up multiple dropdowns to reach the login page, also passing five sign up buttons on the way there. It's even filled with dark patterns, with the sign up button blinking and screaming at you to click it every single time, while the login button is made smaller and grayed out. I remember GitHub pulling this shit some time ago. Once I truly couldn't find the login button and gave up, opting to guess the URL/find it in history.
What is even the purpose of that? Is it truly a scheme to get users to sign up multiple times for the same service so that the user number goes higher? That seems too dumb.
