Meta comment on terrible experience from Forbes website:
* Interstitial ad after clicking through;
* Short article spread over 2 pages unnecessarily;
* Hitting 'back' to return to HN a survey form pops up which I had to dismiss before I could return to HN.
Do they not see how ad-driven and user-hostile their site is?
