Clicked through and got the answer within a second. http://i.imgur.com/4hjX71d.png http://i.imgur.com/4hjX71d.png What a succinct way to demonstrate why people use Ad/Script Blockers. HubSpot is geared towards marketers, so I can understand why they push the limits in terms of seeing what they can get away with. But, when you run a content site and you want to send anonymous users Desktop Notifications, you have to ask yourself: "is this really a sustainable way to use desktop notifications, or am I just ruining it for everyone?" The "fake notification" at the bottom too... How is that any better than those banner ads that pretend to be OS dialog boxes?

Interesting, I didn't get that when I went to the site, wonder if it's being A-B tested or something.

That's not really that bad, if they only do what they say (send notifications of new articles), I don't see what's so horrible.

  The bad part is getting the popup. Especially for first time I've ever visited their site. Maybe if I was a regular visitor, I might want desktop notifications, but please don't bother a new user with that.

    I don't know, I guess with time I got used to getting unexpected stupid popups.

      So you admit the popup is stupid and unexpected, but are confused why people find it horrible?

It's a shame because it's actually a fairly interesting article with lots of data from their survey. But instead they push users away by being overly aggressive. FWIW I didn't see the popup. I use both uBlock Origin and NoScript and there is no way in hell I will ever turn them off.
