      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.

        No pop-ups are acceptable. It doesn’t matter how small the pop-up is.

          No pop-ups are acceptable to you.

          If a site makes good content and doesn’t drown the actual article with ads then I’m not gonna begrudge a small mailing list pop-up, but each to their own.

            Honestly I’d personally prefer a mailing list form at the bottom of the page, but I get why they do it so I’m kind of okay with it.

        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…

            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.

            You can make and propose a mailing list without a pop up…
