From the HN guidelines:

> Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

Tons and tons of sites have annoying popups. As such, complaining about it is usually off topic; that is, the complaint has nothing to do with the substance of the specific article that was posted for discussion.

The best place for such a complaint is to send it back to the website publisher. Then at least they will know their audience doesn’t like it.

Dang that's my bad. Thank you for the gentile direction.
Direction that's not Jewish?
Lmao whoops, I meant gentle.
I get it, but I don't think we should remain silent within the community. Norms for websites are important to cultivate.
