I agree. I’ve noticed a strong correlation between friction (such as newsletter modals, cookie consent modals, register to read, etc.) and low-quality content that is just a waste of my time to read. Since I realized this, I’ve saved a lot of time and effort by closing a tab as soon as I see one of these tells and not looking back.

I'm really grateful to the low-quality content creators for making it so easy to recognize.

If someone uses Twitter that's a pretty good indicator that I don't need to interact with them nor their content.
