Warning, this page does the annoying chatbot thing, but with the addition of sound notifications.
- ehsankia 6y agoI thought the one lesson we all learned from Clippy is that this kind of interruption is more annoying than useful, I guess the new generation of developers have never experienced Clippy? Also why would I need help when reading a blog post??

- anonymousab 6y ago>I thought the one lesson we all learned from Clippy is that this kind of interruption is more annoying than useful It's not about usefulness, not really. It's about engagement and retention - much like newsletter spam and annoying please-subscribe popups, The Metrics always apparently show that they work amazingly compared to a clean page.
- metaphor 6y agoOh yes, hand-waving "The Metrics". What do they say about how often and the speed in which reader view was enabled?
- phendrenad2 6y agoI especially love when these things pop up on careers pages. Just demonstrate to me how lazy your programmers are and apply the chatbot to all pages, why don't you?
- nine_k 6y agoLiving with uMatrix and having sometimes click it and enable more page scripts is still less annoying that things like this.
- sinak 6y agoAuthor here. Sorry about that. I just turned it off.
