It's amazing how much anger/vitriol a small little modal can generate.
Don't you have a back button?
Otherwise if you want the thing someone is offering in a simple quid-pro-quo take the deal or don't.
Otherwise all you a really shouting about is that you think the price is too high.
- anigbrowl 9y agoNo it isn't. Buyer's remorse is where you read the whole article and then conclude that you wasted your time. Oh well, too bad. It's amazing how much anger/vitriol a small little modal can generate. No it isn't, because if you spend a lot of time in the web you encounter them tens or potentially hundreds of times a day depending on what you're doing. It's an economic externality, just like the one person saying 'but my little bit of pollution won't impact the environment.' Yes, I have a back button, but if you've wasted my time then I'm going to remember that fact. Semantic/social web technologies are going to make this sort of marketing obsolete.
- racer-v 9y agoIt's amazing how much anger/vitriol a small little modal can generate. It may amaze the designer, but it doesn't amaze me as a user. The fundamental principle of a "modal" is that it suddenly and unexpectedly robs the user of control over his experience. If that's not a cardinal sin of interface design, I don't know what is. We're often reminded that good design creates "delight"; that also means bad design can create delight's opposite - pain and frustration.
