Are you really that bothered by a text-only sales pitch (which has an old-timey "I sell vacuum cleaners door to door" charm to it), or would you have preferred a full page interstitial demanding you disable your ad blocker, with a size 1pt font "I'll do it next time"? The only thing funnier than this complaint is the thread on Quora criticizing this site, with the top post specifically demeaning the site's lack of a "back-end", postulating that manually updating half a dozen text-only HTML pages in MS Word poses an unreasonable burden to the site operators. I assume a CMS, complicated database, and mountains of JavaScript would have been a more effective choice. But what do I know? Plain HTML isn't subject to the revolving door of application vulnerabilities so where is the fun in that?
