   @urlyman I have seen this too many times recently. I don't understand how companies with such vast resources can limit their own page retention so intentionally - surely this user experience is sending people away? I certainly close some pages straight away if they've got too many bullshit modals and popups for me to wade through.

     On mobile, Meetup\.com greets you with

     1. an almost full viewport overlay with *no close box* asking if you’d like to use the browser *you are already using* or use the app instead

     on top of a…

     2. “accept our cookies mofo” full viewport overlay

     dismissing both (after you’ve figured you can tap the tiny bit of left over screen real estate to put overlay 1 away) leaves you with a semi-sticky “open in the app mofo” banner cluttering the event you are interested in :/
