Back in the 90's, I can remember seeing a blog post from an advertiser trying to warn his compatriots that pop up ads and obnoxious animated gifs were counterproductive, but they did not get any traction.
- icouldntresist 3y agoFunny how we're coming back around to pop-ups, except they're called "modals" now. I had to use a browser without ublock a little while back, and I honestly don't know how people use the web anymore if they don't have an ad blocker. The ads are literally trying to prevent you from accessing the content for as long as possible so you spend a few more seconds staring at their garbage.
