"I would rather not read this article than have to click a button" is an interesting level of entitlement. Hope you never had your fingers stained by the ink when reading the newspaper, you probably would have sued the New York Times.
- coldpie 3y agoDude we had a whole web browser revolution in the early 2000s centered largely around the ability to prevent browser pop-up windows. The fact that people are doing it in the canvas now doesn't suddenly make it not incredibly obnoxious. Pop-up windows were bad design 20 years ago and they're bad design now.
- davidivadavid 3y agoPop-up windows that take focus over other running applications are a whole another ball game, dude. In-app popups are a pattern that may or may not be annoying, like most things used well or badly. This case seems pretty innocuous to me.
- coldpie 3y agoNo, they are always annoying. I'm here to read an article, the only thing this pop-up window does is get in my way.
