Web developers, why, why o why?!

I never opened this page before (atleast not knowingly), and instead of showing me the article, you show a popup/overlay asking me to joing your page ("Join the world’s best hardware engineers. Create your account to explore thousands of projects, build your skills, and discover new products and technologies. ")

Why would I join, before you even let me see the first article? What if it's shitty? What if it's a dangerous lie, telling me to do something bad and injure/kill myself?

Seriously, modern webdesign is an example of really BAD user experience!

Edit: after I close the popup, there is a new bar in the bottom saying "Hey stranger! Sign up to access unlimited projects featuring Android and more – it's free." and a sign-up button... why?

Edit2: there's another header bar that I totally missed "Hackster is a community dedicated to learning hardware, from beginner to pro. Join us, it's free!"

holy fuck
