How to make me leave your website, in one picture.
@gregmoore I 100% agree. If you want to build an email list - then make a damn landing page. If you want people to read your articles - then write good stuff and make it easy to read.
@terrygrier I had the same thought. It’s like I walked into a restaurant and, before I could even sit down, a pushy waiter tried to sell me on a regular home delivery. ”Dude, I haven’t even seen the menu.”
@alanralph You make a very good point about their analytics. Sadly, capturing an email address must be a more highly valued metric for them.
@gregmoore agree — but honestly, in this particular case I think it’s still worth working through the friction and annoyance. I love a lot of the content on this site.
@gregmoore I despise sites that do this, it's the equivalent of spitting in the reader's face.
