That popup that you encounter when visiting the site. So damn annoying, makes me want to go back immediately, but if it's easy to close I almost instinctively close it.
What if that's what Google is studying now... how "in your face annoying" they can be until we avoid them completely?
How long till Reddit allows users to put pop-up ads in Posts? In replies? How long until every scrap of media has popups nagging you to look at some useless product?

Huh... I didn't have a pop-up. Using Reddit is fun mobile app. I expected better of Scientific America.

I was in that dinosaur masturbating thread and someone was talking about jacking off on top of a Brontosaurus, so naturally to demonstrate my nerd superiority I was going to post about how the Brontosaurus was just a misidentified Apatosaurus. Uncertain of my spelling I consulted with the google and low and behold, scientists have decided the Bronto is real!
