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?

    Hahaha I had the exact same reaction and made an almost identical screenshot of this eyecancer…

      Why are you all on X/Twitter? It’s utter trash, I just avoid the whole thing.

        I’m not on Twitter, or any social platform, but sometimes a link leads met to a post or an account. Et voilà!

        As evidenced by all the prompts, we aren’t! But it’s still the best place to get the latest info from some companies

          As evidenced by the frequent posts to content from X, I think many still are.
