Popups can be annoying, but please do not break the site guidelines like this, and particularly not the Show HN guidelines:

Internet forums tend to slide by default into people being jerks and assholes to each other, and that is particularly poisonous in response to people who are trying to share their work. We don't want a culture here where they get attacked and flamed for doing that.

If you wanted to respectfully share what was troublesome about a popup, that of course would be fine.

I was just giving feedback ... Maybe sarcasm doesn't translate well in writing
