  I often find the pattern on websites that I visit the site for the first time due to a link, read maybe half a paragraph, and then get a modal popup asking for my email address to subscribe. I've never read any content from them before, how would I know if I want to subscribe? My phone is also in landscape mode, so the modal's close button is off the screen, and I can't scroll to it cause it's an absolutely positioned modal. So the only logical thing to do is avoid the site in the future, they're more interested in extracting money from their existing readers than getting new readers. Sorry, maybe if you had let me read one article I may have liked your content.

  My biggest issue with modals, is that they never seem to be tested with mobile devices in mind I feel your pain. The web sites I maintain have at least 70% mobile users. But the managers (and designers!) only see them on giant-screen desktops, and only care what it looks like in-house, not to the customers. I'm tired of constantly telling layers of bosses that what they want won't work on mobile, which is where their customers are.
