In my humble opinion that seems to be a very rude and aggressive way to do virtue signalling. I would feel extremely offended by having a website tell me to go back later just because I was supposed to be sleeping. I look forward to never ever have to do business with you. Who are YOU to tell me I have to be in bed between 10pm and 6am? What do you know about me and my life? Do you even know in which time zone I'm operating? There are a lot of things I can only do after 10pm due to work + kids.

ya i could see some kind of interstitial like those newsletter pop-ups being effective that basically said 'we're offline for the night, we will respond to you in X hours'. to make the website less functional or accessible seems a bit extreme.

I think you misread the post. The author is not telling you to go to bed at 10 etc. what the author is doing is not diff then one going to a grocery store after it’s service hours. A closed sign at the entrance doesn't mean you need to be in bed. it’s simply stating you can’t do business with them at that hour. Majority of the physical stores work this way because there are real people running them. It’s just that digital stores never worked this way it generally thought they are run by computers - which is mostly true but at some point if there is a need for human interaction one has to wait. At least until they are completely run by ai and robots. And that applies to physical stores too :) Ps: I have kids too and know what you mean

  Thank you for the response. You framed it better than I did.

You would not only feel offended but extremely offended by a message on a website? That is such strange behaviour to me. You need to just accept it and move on.

  This is exactly how I feel about people complaining about the BLM banner that was on the go website (and others) for a while.
