'A single website' that is the largest single fraction of the entire internet traffic, yes. And what's with the 'pseudo' slam?

I honestly don't know what you are trying to debate anymore. Netflix might account for the largest bandwidth consumption, sure, but it's not even in the top 50 websites by users/pageviews. Your analogy falls down hard; we're talking about a common tactic to collect email addresses... to my knowledge Netflix does not have a newsletter they send out. Does that mean nobody should collect email addresses and run a newsletter campaign? Absolutely not.

You are making up facts to support your skewed and biased view. You don't like popups that ask for email addresses, therefore you assert they are ineffective and annoying to all users. This is absurd, and provably false.
You assert Netflix has the most consumption of bandwidth for a single service on the internet, and they don't employ a popup to collect email addresses... and therefore conclude that nobody should use a popup to collect email addresses. This is equally absurd.
Like stated before... you are letting your personal bias creep into a pseudo-fact.
