This may be a little too generous to 2013, but it's not that far off. (startrek.website)

After 10 seconds of reading an overlay appears that asks you to subscribe to their newsletter.

I guess they really needed to tell me I wasn't welcome but damn.

Those are so infuriating. Especially when it's for some random website that you'll likely never have a reason to visit ever again. Does anyone actually subscribe? I highly doubt it, though who knows what old people do (I used to do end-user tech support and I've seen some shit). I've come across a couple of stores offer a small discount if you subscribe, which is at least a legit reason to do so, but this discount is so small that I even then I don't bother.

Surprisingly, yes. I have no idea why people put their email addresses in those things, but they do. I put a tiny email capture on one of my websites once as an experiment. I didn't even offer anything, It just said "Keep in touch", and thousands of people signed into an double opt-in mailing list in the 3 weeks I had it up. Fucking weirdos.

A twice-weekly mailing list on cybersecurity sounds like a just punishment for their incompetence.

Bonus points if you had to enable JS beforehand because they load the content in via scripts afterwards.

30 mb of JS for 1 kb of text.
Can't zoom or scroll freely without JS interfering.
Double-click on a word and it calls another script for 'assistance' instead of selecting the word.
Right-click is disabled or bring their own 'menu' that does nothing.

And first thing when you open the page your browser prompts you to enable notifications for the site so they can spam ads that way too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I always wondered does anybody (with sane enough understanding of tech) accept notifications? It's the one thing I hate the most, it triggers anxiety and takes my attention away from what I have to do.
