There are some sites that I am actually signed up for their newsletter, I'll click a link in the newsletter to read the article on the site, and then I still get a popup on the site to signup for the newsletter. Most newsletter links have referral URL parameters. I don't know why they can't detect that I came from a newsletter click and just not show me the popup. I understand it could be "abused" or if the link was forwarded from someone you might want to try and capture new subscribers, but I feel like that's a small enough percentage that it would be better to make the experience less annoying for your regulars.
