was just on the Associated Press website reading a news story.

1. Popup asking for donation.
2. Ad overlayed on top of the popup asking for donation.
3. After dismissing both, video in the corner overlaid on the text I’m trying to read.

It’s like no one cares about the user experience.

@carnage4life the only thing it’s missing is an exit-intent pop-up.

I hope they’ll discover that people are more willing to donate when they actually get the value of their content. But, all this slop seems to suggest the opposite.
