If I'm on Substack and am reading a genuinely interesting article, and half-way or something through I get a popup asking if I want to sign up for that person's newsletter, I might do it.
- lolinder 4y agoThat I could see, but I almost always have to close the Substack pop-up before I'm even allowed to read the first paragraph, so that's more of a hypothetical example than a real one. Also, there are better ways to handle that from the user perspective: inject the subscription form as a static element in between two paragraphs so you don't interrupt me mid-sentence. That way I get my opportunity but I also get to finish your article.
- qwertox 4y agoWhat if half way through the article you see a sign-up field which separates the top and bottom half of the article, instead of a popup? Baked into the page, like an ad? No small "x" to click, because most of these don't care about keyboard input, no interruption? Is that not an option?
