First, as evidenced by every discussion on HN ever, you’re not going to get agreement between people on what annoying is in terms of a website. So whatever metric you use, there’s going to be subjectivity. Some ideas: • Create a Chrome extension that asks people to thumbs up/down a website then collect those results. • Do a Facemash thing like in Social Network – put 2 sites side by side and ask which is more annoying • Create your own Annoyance Index that can be automated. Say start with 100 points and subtract X points for a pop up, Y points for scrolljacking, Z points for ad block detection, etc. etc. Figure out the threshold for annoying/not annoying and there you go Obviously there’s going to be a ton of bias in whatever you come up with. And you’ll have to decide whether a good site can be annoying or not.
