I used to respect National Geographic.

I came to this site to read the story, but they wanted my email first.

I get it - they worked to produce this content and now they wanted to track me so they could get better advertising revenue.

But I was not interested in the story that I wanted to give my private info, so I decided to go back.

Unfortunately, it appears as if National Geographic is using a dark pattern to try to force people to enter an email - the page would not let me browse away.
