Marketing teams that are clueless about their customers and read "Top 10" tricks found after a Google search to create BS metrics to send to managers & execs at the end of the week because "progress".
- hinkley 7y agoI've noticed that the preponderance of articles posted on Hacker News now, while usually quite good in and of themselves, are often absolutely rotten with clickbait links. The last one I read had an outbound link to something like "Top 20 harshest breakup messages of all time." And that was amongst an array of 8 equally awful options. I'm not sure what's been going on lately but it's not good.
- 2T1Qka0rEiPr 7y agoMy approach when I am confronted with 1) cookie-bar, 2) GDPR-bar, 3) fixed nav, and 4) notification popup, is just to hit F9 (Win, annoyingly worse in Ubuntu) within Firefox to just go into reader mode. It makes the internet more bearable.
- hinkley 7y agoSounds like a potential add-on to me. Like the "remember password" popup but for reader mode. (but please only prompt me if I exhibit a pattern of using it, not every single time I do)
- munk-a 7y agoI've had a habit for a while of just setting up element blocks all over the place when I hit an obnoxious site, it takes more time than switching into reader mode but it feels so fulfilling when I've done it. But, it's a bit of a special case since I absolutely loathe advertising for a variety of reasons.
