Nice storytelling. I don't really like the stacked items from a UX-perspective as it's not clear how many items there are and content is hidden in this way.

I couldn't read it at all. Two overlapping popups that i dont feel like getting rid of block the entire viewport on mobile.
"Dear readers, get fucked"
"popups that i dont feel like getting rid of"
Sometimes the users _are_ the problem
If the first thing I'm seeing on a site are popups, you don't care about my visit and I don't care about your content.
This is how that page looks: https://i.imgur.com/U95ePi0.png
They're asking me to:
1) Allow them to use cookies to "operate their website"
2) Allow them to use cookies to "carry out actions I request"
3) Allow them to use cookies to "personalize my experience on this website"
4) Allow them to use cookies to "enhance my experience on this website"
5) Agree to their Privacy Policy (which I can't read unless I pre-approve this)
6) Agree to their Terms and Conditions (which I can't read unless I pre-approve this)
And I haven't seen a single character of the content they want to trade all of this for. So that's a no for me.
