I wonder if everyone who writes popups of all stripes is cognizant of how many of us just dismiss them all instantly without nary a glance.
I’ve written a few popups. Yes, we are aware, I generally dismiss them too. They’re almost always an anti-pattern / anti-user design anyway, so I try to avoid them. They are, I think without exception, thought train breakers and annoyances, even in cases where they may actually be useful.
Even if they could be used for something productive that’s impossible now because of their extreme over-use and abuse.
But yet they persist
Apps love popups right when you start it to tell you something important. Guess I’ll never know because my muscle memory was quicker than my eyes.
Yep. I’ve made sure to never learn anything from a popup.
It’s easier IRL since you can just leave without paying 😌
No tip screen if one pays with cash.
the ones with popups hiding the no tip screen are diabolical
