I'm sure its interesting but I am making a conscious choice to not read or linger on user hostile articles. As soon as I want to scroll I am interrupted by a page takeover requiring action and subsequently compelling me to lose interest.
Did you want me to read it or click buttons for you? Too bad your UI gets in the way of the U.

You might think this, but I tend to doubt it's true... people making these decisions end up being in their own little bubble, and not really have a good idea what people's actual response is.
That said, I find Substack's pop-up tolerable: I am after all getting someone's work for free, and I'd rather have a simple pop-up that I know I can get rid of than ads or other aggressive forms of pop-ups.
