Too bad the 404media website is completely useless on mobile.

  Is it? Works perfectly fine on my Android device, both in Chrome and FF.

    Just checked, works perfectly fine on iOS safari as well. Not entirely sure what the grandparent comment is on about.

      If you scroll and read, eventually a popup shows, with no way to close it.

        Just scrolled all the way down, had two pop ups appear in the process - one for video taking up 1/3 top of the screen (appeared from the beginning as I started scrolling the page), and another one for “read next” (once i got to the bottom of the page). However, both of them are easily dismissable, with none showing up after that. Here is a screen recording[0] of how it looks in Safari. You can see in the very beginning of it that I am clicking page refresh, so i didn’t prep it ahead of time or anything. When you see pop-ups disappear, it is me manually closing them. 0. https://streamable.com/zgucyz https://streamable.com/zgucyz

        The original comment said "mobile". That doesn't mean any specific single test case. I'm using a chrome derivative. And to be really blunt, I don't care if it works for you. It doesn't for me. I get a "larger than screen size", undismissable popup. No, it's not me. No, I don't care to debug it, nor why that one site out of thousands, is like that. Their site is broken, and that's all I need to know. Off to another website I go! (I detest things popping up whilst I am reading. If a stranger snuck up, and shoved something in between a paper book or magazine I was reading, in real life, I'd probably push them away and threaten them to stop. Or else. They'd get a punch in the nose of they kept it up. It's just abusive. So if this little scheme to pester me goes wrong, I have little sympathy for the buffoonery involved.)
