I'm flagging this because of the terrible popup. If I submit a (fake) email, it still won't let me read the article, but rather redirect me to a page demanding even more info!
- robertwiblin 10y agoHey Tom, we have that second step because we often deliver free workshops to people at their universities. Just this week I was emailing people who told us they are at universities in London to let them know about date we will be available to meet them personally. If you just click anywhere else on the page, the popup will close and you can get back to reading the page! :) I understand pop-ups are annoying, but without them I don't think 80,000 Hours' model would be sustainable (we couldn't show much impact and so donors wouldn't fund us).
- tomp 10y agoOh well, I guess it's better to polarize the public, and have some that really hate you and others that really love you. Kind-of like the US presidential candidates right now :)
- robertwiblin 10y agoIf there's one thing I've learned on the internet, it's that it's hard to please everyone. ;)
- robertwiblin 10y agoI've turned off the university page redirect for now until we can evaluate whether it's overall a positive.
