I’ve just become so...tired of the anti-consumer mechanisms.
The pop-ups. The floating “dickbars” (as John Gruber calls them). The delayed prompts. The login blockers after trying to do like 2 simple things. At some point I just think “do you want me to use this or not?!?” and just leave.
I encourage everyone to do the same, just leave these sites that disrespect you. Start adding up all the time you saved, when you discover half the “articles” or comments weren’t really worth your time to begin with.
