one of my friends used to work for Agoda as a software engineer who said similar things about his company using dark patterns to fake urgency. This is very common in the travel industry and i've seen many companies employing similar tactics.

Agoda seems to be owned by Booking Holdings which I think implements these kind of dark patterns most aggressively.
