Sounds about right. On the list of things which are actually killing the public web, the apparently now-mandatory "some kind of popup or interstitial before the thing you clicked on will load" has got to rank pretty high.

69% seems a bit low to me. I can't get away from those things fast enough.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
