  We use optinmonster, which we wanted to turn off, but their service just went down. Really need to migrate off these guys...

    You can't turn it off because their service just went down? Sounds like you're dealing with a situation here.

      Yeah turns out they're upgrading their web interface so we can't change any of our settings. Keep saying it will be fixed any moment...

    Also: If you're asking me to subscribe in the middle of me reading the article, I still happily will enter my e-mail address and click subscribe, but please, please, please do not send me to a new page then to enter more details. I'll instantly navigate back since I actually want to read the text.

      I sincerely hope your feedback as well as the other feedback in this thread makes it to the people that are in charge of these decisions. It's in their best interest.

      And I will happily enter a fake, insulting email address.
