If I dont get inside the page in 5-10 seconds tops I hit the back button and continue to read the HN comments ( about the article). I rather not give them traffic if they treat my network request like I am e-begging to read the article.
I love that brief moment it gives me to decide if it's really worth it or if I really even want to read the article after all. It's the same thing with ads before a video clip - just a moment to think 'Do I really want to even watch this video clip?'. Nope - close tab.
I have used this extensively previously when I had to quickly share a UI prototype with my Product manager. There used to be all sorts of cors error when I also had a backend. Then I realised its just better to make a branch and deploy it in amplify and add the cors origin in the backend. But its good for quick UI sharing

Why do they always start with this. Every single one of them. You dont even want to read anything after that. Its the same "Blah blah nothing will change you will get the best of both worlds blah blah"
What did they do with i.reddit.com? That still works for me too as far as I know. But as long as I remember, it's needed some awful looking session identifier.
The www.reddit.com shows me a banner after 10 seconds to login/signup. So annoying. I refresh multiple times to make that banner go away. It sometimes does sometimes doesn't. Such user hostile stuff.
