Yeah, there was a bit of discussion about that on Lobsters :)

complains about losing one second
literally has an “sign up for my newsletter!”-overlay that appears in front of the article, while you’re reading the article

I’ll gladly wait one second, or ten, to never see a newsletter overlay again.

It’s a Substack thing, not added by the author

Maybe if the author chose better tools, they wouldn’t have to wait around? Just like if they chose a better publishing platform (even a shitty one like Wordpress) an impatient person like me would be able to read the article — my general response to a full screen overlay is not to look for some way to dismiss it. I generally just close the tab.

Maybe they didn’t have time to see how the platform performed for the reader?

The author chose to host on a platform that does that. So it is their fault
