I clicked around a few pages on this site, and every single one of them threw up some fucking fixed-position popover soliciting me to buy something, listen to something, or subscribe to something, or whatever. This trend is such a cancer on the web.



It also makes me wonder, is the conversion rate on these god awful popups really that good? I've ever entered an email address into one of these boxes, and why would I? More often than not they shove them into your face before you even see the page content, then again when you try to leave. It's terrible.
