Uh, the nag to harvest email addresses was weird. It completely covered the article. I almost closed the tab without reading the article.
IMO: Get rid of it. (Or use a normal style that doesn't nag for an email address until you've scrolled a bit, and keeps the page visible while the nag is open.)
Why? People don't always read an article when they open a page. (I certainly don't.) By the time I saw the page I was totally lost from the context of what the page was, and the only reason why I didn't close the article was because the title on the Hacker News adjacent tab looked interesting.
