   A couple of folks said I should replace the pop-over email signup form on my blog with a much more subtle inline signup form at the top of the page. So! If you'd like to reward the more user-friendly design with your patronage and support (it's free, I only ask for your attention), you can sign up to get my new posts in your inbox just by sharing your email address. I won't spam you or sell your email, and don't post too often. https://www.anildash.com/

     @anildash This is much better than the Interruption method. I didn't want to pile on with the complainers, but I'm glad you listened.

     @shovemedia what if subscribing rewarded you with a big popup window though

     @shovemedia I remember when browsers had to add constraints to prevent the creation of popups that were bigger than the user’s viewports, which was an eye-opening insight into human nature for me at the time. 😭
