I hate "welcome" screens
- mechanical_fish 19y agoYes, the top two reasons why Forbes will fail are: 1. a startup screen that smells strongly of 1998; 2. that annoying sound which emerges faintly from your speakers as you read the article. It turns out that it's coming from the video ad that has been thoughtfully placed at the top of the screen to remind you, the reader, that you have just been linkbaited. I hope for Forbes' sake that I accidentally clicked on that video ad, because audible ads that play automatically are a harbinger of doom, like finding an angry black cat underneath your broken mirror.
