Think about it from the websites perspective. If you visit their website and leave without "converting" in any sense then why are they serving you? It's like do you get annoyed when servers leave a bill on your way out of the restaurant? Content sites are just trying to reacclimate people to recognizing that they just provided value. Ads are worth less than ever so they need to a relationship to milk. Emails are cheap.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoa better analogy might be a dude on a soapbox on a street corner demanding you give him your phone number because you heard his yelling: if your yelling is worth a subscribe, people will find a way focus on making the content that way, rather than feeling entitled to the personal info of everyone who heard your yelling
- tootie 4y agoThat's not a better analogy because the soapbox guy is essentially pushing spam. These popups are catching you leaving someplace you visited voluntarily. Like the retail people who stand by the door asking if you found everything you were looking for.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agonow imagine those same retail people asking you for your personal information because you looked at almost 1 thing in the store, it'd obviously be annoying and unreasonable
