I wish apps had some kind of history for the things you said "no" to. Everything is constantly getting in user's way with some pop-ups, usually specifically to try to get me to do or agree to something I don't want, that I'm conditioned to blindly find the non-highlighted button and click it. Especially as these pop-ups usually come just as I visit the site to get something done. Sometimes (often, actually) my brain realizes that the dialog contained (or may have contained) something interesting/actually relevant only after it's already gone. I found the "red notification dot" works really well. It's nagging enough that I will take a look at it, but doesn't get in my way like a pop-up. I can first get my task done, then look at what it's about, instead of having to choose between interrupting my task and swatting away this obnoxious wall in my face. If you try to force something on me, I'm already much more likely to hate and not want it.
