    @nwd @anildash Count me among the people who reach immediately for the "close" button rather than the "maybe later" button at the first pop-up. Fuck these intrusive dark patterns entirely. You should know better.

    @jwz @nwd Okey doke. I pulled the popup out and just made a little thing at the top that can be dismissed. I really had only put the other style of form in because multiple people had literally asked for a substack-style subscription form since that's what they're used to. I think this is really just the collision between my normie business audience and my audience of people who are actual internet people.

    @anildash I appreciate all the content you've produced over the years, also I get the tension between pop ups being really annoying and also provably effective.

    Thanks for removing it.
