What's worse is a website that wants you to sign up to get in, even when you just want to browse.
There's a site that advertises regularly here on FS (to me, anyway) that I'm actually interested in... I even clicked through to check it out. Real nice, stylish haute couture gear and apparel that I'd be interested in maybe adding to my wardrobe.
You get about a half a pages worth of scroll before it all greys out and a registration popup blocks everything... and it won't let you decline.
Fuck you, I just want to browse. You can take that and the eventual spam you'll send me and cram it right up your ass. You're presorting out potential customers because they don't want to put up with your bullshit.
Shame too, the stuff I did see looked pretty sweet.
At least there isn't a newsletter. An animal bit me, there was a fuckton of blood, and I was trying to figure out how to treat it. Damn medical sites had a 'top tens ways to stop the bleeding'. It repeatedly asked to download the app and subscribe to the newsletter.
Not quite the same thing but I signed up for an apartment website because they wouldn't let me use the site unless I did. They then proceeded to send me 20+ emails. A day.
Don't you have to get this app to see covered up things without signing in?

if this is the fact, then DONT DOWNLOAD IT. write them a kindly 'fuck you guys' and don't use this site anymore. problem solved. it's the same with the anti-adblock websites who say "deactivate your adblock or your not allowed to use function xyz' -> fuck this i'm out. if someone don't want you, just leave. it's their problem not yours. they gonna lose traffic and visitors..not you.

Actually, for me the download version of FunSubstance is pretty annoying. I mean, I have a problem with this because even though I have never seen any of the posts, It upvotes outta nowhere. Idk why.

I just used the "stop seeing this ad" adsense function on it. It kinda sucked and hurt to do that... but fuck you, I'm not signing up just to browse.
