This is a technology website, I find UX discussion pretty relevant since all these news sites have horrible UX, and it should be pointed out each time they fail at basic UX. They don't need 50 nag screens. They could put most of them on the side or the top of their page, including GDPR notices. The reason why they use these invasive and annoying nag screens is that browsers ended up blocking all these annoying window based pop ups at first place.

Online news media just can't learn their lesson.

I just don't think the online news media will learn anything from tangential HN discussions so we might as well do away with these types of comments and either discuss the article's content or not visit the link at all. I think that's the proper etiquette, unless of course there's something exceptional worth noting.

I too wish this terrible UX was an exception, don't get me wrong.
