Hah! Can we can lump all of these into a new "Business Experience" category? None of the examples I looked at are good user experiences, they're just good ways of making more money off of users. Every design that takes more money from you is a negative UX. Causing the user headache or inconvenience in the hopes that they'll become a little less wealthy after the interaction and calling it UX is fucking ridiculous. This is UX in the same way a carrot and stick is to a donkey. And of course this site has a spam list^W^Wnewsletter, fucking marketroids.

Not really sure who in their right mind considers "upsell prompts" part of a great user experience.
