OT but what's with the splash screen? I can't get pass it (Chrome, Android). This is the second time today I've been unable to read a Forbes article. Why do they care so much about showing me some useless quote that they risk making the site unusable?

It happened to me too (Chrome, desktop), but after backing out and loading the page again it didn't stop at the spash screen. It seems as though the first load sets a cookie to indicate you've seen it on the first visit.

The quote page usually contains a large ad. If you have an ad blocker, it looks like they care about the quote, but that's just extra flourish and not the primary purpose.
