I happened to click a link that took me to the associated twitter X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.
I know it’s nothing new. I’ve got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)
What’s the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you’ve encountered recently?
The corporates keep finding ways to reintroduce the same shitty popup ads from the 90s to defeat whatever’s been put in place to keep it from happening. Absolutely no sense of nuance. It’s not the specific delivery mechanism users dislike, it’s the whole terrible UX pattern. Stop trying to make me do shit that’s not what I’m trying to do!
