Do you just open up and then close like every site you visit??
I haven't seen a popup ad in years
It’s not a pop up ad, it’s a little pop up on the page asking to subscribe to a mailing list, I see them on most sites that host articles.
So ads for their mail list and more data to be sold later. Size doesn't matter when it comes to ads and nefarious content.
It's just a little pop up...
Or, just a small site trying to make good content and engage users in a way that means they’ll return.
“BuT If I lIkE tHE CoNteNt I’lL CoMe BaCk AnYWay”, and some people would prefer a mailing list. There’s nothing inherently evil about a mailing list pop up…
You can make and propose a mailing list without a pop up…
So you want more spam ads in your email that is already overloaded with spam. No thanks, no social media site needs to send me email.
I just clicked no, wasn’t that difficult tbh…
