Before the content even loaded there was a light box that blacked out the content behind it asking for my email.

There's a big 'X' in the upper right corner of the box you can click to make it go away.

Do like me and turn off JavaScript by default. The more people we are, the greater the chances that the web remains usable without JavaScript.

  I can't remember the last time the teams I've worked on ever mentioned making the site usable for people without JS and people with disabilities. "It's not in the scope!" Ugh.

    I work for a public university, so when we make new sites or webapps we are obliged to make them usable for people with disabilities and we have at least one person who focus only on testing this... but without javascript? That is not even considered. The web IS javascript driven

      Unlike when serving people with disabilities, which you can't understand and test well if you're not disabled yourself (or specially trained), as a developer you should automatically be aware when you'd exclude people without JS. Nobody special needed for testing, just a resistance to implement navigation with JS only, or worse, JS-only content. Until now most content-heavy sites (like most university sites) are not problematic for the most part (1). Which I suppose is why there's no complaining till now. By having a healthy community of users with JS disabled, hopefully there will be enough complaints when it gets worse. (1) the static parts, which is most URLs used during the day. If I encounter a site that requires JS to log in, I'll open a separate browser with JS. If I encounter a page that only shows the content with JS, I just close it unread, unless in the very rare case that it's important to me (most important content is still not relying on JS).

As well as being annoying, I just don't get the logic. Why on earth is anyone going to sign up for your mailing list when at this point, they haven't yet had a chance to read anything on your site? If you must insist on a sign up box, put it at the end of the article (and preferably after the article, not hiding the text).
