Well, in some articles the donation box is bigger than the article itself, so it's apparently an important part of their business model
- shaki-dora 8y agoTo be fair, it’s also below the article, and neither a pop up nor interstitial. At that place in the page, it’s rather unimportant how big it is. It is far less annoying than, say, Wikipedia or even NPR. Everyone should be happy about these results, as it is vastly superior to both paywalls and the ad-infestation other free sites have seen. (I would also guess it’s rare for the box to actually take up more vertical space than the article. Maybe in breaking-news scenarios, where they start with a single-sentence item, then update it)
- baud147258 8y agoI agree that it's way less annoying that the wikipedia pop-up during the annual period where they ask for donations. (I can't tell for NPR since I go to their European version)
