So to avoid personal frustration, enable their dark patterns? I don't feel like seesawtron would be the one feeling empowered by giving up and letting them keep the money.

This is the catch 22. Stand up for the principle or just “pay up” to not have that stress. They know this too.

You can't stop these dark patterns by simply spending hours and hours trying to fight it alone.

You can try to be more alert next time; you can try to vote differently, if you believe that counts; and you can probably do a number of other things.
