Entertaining, but ironic that I got no less than 3 pop ups from Medium to read this post.
Medium has reached a new high today. My phone screen is completely filled by these modals, nothing of the post is visible

Luckily Firefox reader mode displays the post they hide without having to use uBlock Origin and hide those elements individually.
We had a post about why Medium is bad yesterday. Medium is actively contributing to the discussion (sarcasm.)

Read the screenshot mockups in the article carefully, it reads, "https://mediem.com/". So the author is clearly also annoyed by Medium.
I just look for the X to close the modal. I have no idea what Medium is yammering on about in that box.
They must really be optimists to think that even though I've closed the modal a thousand times, I might sign up the next time.

I guess we’ve finally fully optimized the modal dialog. Now the only way to make further gains is to explore other form factors to deliver our message in, such as a convenient suppository.
This reads like an ad for Brave.
