If I am on my pc with a mouse getting to top is either a click or button combo away, so this popping up stuff is a net loss.

Its even worse on the phones where you sometimes get header plus some commercial and maybe a cookie banner, interacting with each other trying to figure out how to close them in order is a puzzle.

There have been maybe 1 or 2 sites out of all that i have visited, that I didn't immediately hate the banner.

To me it become a "site smell". So if I have an option I'll go elsewhere for my needs.
