This reads like an ad for Brave.

Entertaining, but ironic that I got no less than 3 pop ups from Medium to read this post.

  Medium has reached a new high today. My phone screen is completely filled by these modals, nothing of the post is visible > To make Medium work, we log user data and share it with processors. > I agree > To use Medium, you must agree to our Privacy Policy, including cookie policy. > Extend your stay. > Sign up with Google > Sign up with Facebook > Already have an account? > To make Medium work, we log user data and share it with service providers.

Luckily Firefox reader mode displays the post they hide without having to use uBlock Origin and hide those elements individually. We had a post about why Medium is bad yesterday. Medium is actively contributing to the discussion (sarcasm.)

  I just look for the X to close the modal. I have no idea what Medium is yammering on about in that box. They must really be optimists to think that even though I've closed the modal a thousand times, I might sign up the next time.

  Read the screenshot mockups in the article carefully, it reads, "https://mediem.com/" https://mediem.com/". So the author is clearly also annoyed by Medium.

I guess we’ve finally fully optimized the modal dialog. Now the only way to make further gains is to explore other form factors to deliver our message in, such as a convenient suppository.

Cars that don't stop go the farthest. Diseases that can't be cured kill the most. Addictive drugs hook the most users. The youngest children are the most compliant when soliciting sexual favors. Starving dogs eat the most joggers. Concentration camps that disguise their gas chambers as showers exterminate the most inmates. Friends, with the right kind of eyes, there's money on the table.
