The article is interesting and all, but the fact that I had to wade through 3 separate "subscribe to our newsletter!" sections before even getting to the start of the real content is ridiculous.
I counted a total of 6 different places where the user is asked to sign up for something or take some sort of action. Good lord.
- Veuxdo 5y agoSadly this is standard practice now on every "website" out there.
- vincentmarle 5y agoIt worked for me, I did sign up.
- blackshaw 5y agoSubstack makes it way too easy to fill your articles with "Subscribe" and "Share" buttons; you can do it with one click.
- gertlex 5y agoI didn't even read the page ultimately, since I couldn't identify where to start reading. Roughly every half screen of scrolling, the content formatting changes dramatically (and clearly some of it was subscription info, which is not how I want to start reading), and then I was at the end of the page... I'd failed to identify the "body" of the article and so closed that tab.
