Dear Chris, I'm so glad to see you back on RUclips! Your absence was felt, and it's great to have you sharing your expertise and insights with us again. Your latest videos are fantastic, and I'm loving the new content you're producing. Thank you for your dedication to your channel and your audience, and keep up the excellent work!
CNN is such a massive culprit of this. They mess with the history API so that once you visit the site to read an article, they jam a “Wait! Sign up for our newsletter!” modal in your face when you hit the back button, forcing you to have to click yet again or just close the tab entirely. Almost as bad as that trend of popping up similar modals _just because_ you happened to move your mouse up to the top where the tabs are, in case you had the audacity to temporarily leave the page for a second to check something… lol. So selfish. I’m almost embarrassed for the developers who are forced to build that crap because upper management thinks it’ll push some KPI (at the sacrifice of 2 others…).
When I started learning, I hated the "I learned web development in three months, and now I'm a senior dev at Google!" It was demoralizing for a beginner because I thought I'll never make it.
There's plenty of people like this in the tabletop mini scene where they'll post their first "A" model that looks professionally painted. Turns out they were an artist for 10 years before that. Always take that sort of thing with a grain of salt, who knows what advantages they had to be able to become a senior dev so fast.
@@lunaticberserker5869 Yeah it sucks, especially when it puts people off. This is the benefit of talking to real people and not posts online. You get the full context in person normally.
Unless I was busy for a few seconds and missed it... one thing I hate I don't think was mentioned is how upon visiting a site I use often (weekly, or monthly at least) a huge invitation to join, subscribe, make an account, etc is shoved in my face. Unlike the case of a first-time visitor who has no idea what they're getting into and therefore won't be wanting to get married to the site, I'm an old timer customer just here to do my regular business. Where the heck is the "log in" button or an edit box for my email or ID? I have to work around hype for uninterested newcomers to get to the actual business. Customers as 2nd class!
Your example there at 6:40 is pretty much a dumpster fire, yikes. Also: LOL @ “Cruise vacations” ad _literally on top of_ a sinking cruise ship! 😂 I’ll admit; funny article and so meta! Utterly surrounded by ads, literal layers of junk you have to click out of, and _then_ there’s a headline and an image… Maybe if they just offered a quality experience that made you _want_ to come back for more, and if those ads were a bit more respectful and not just distracting to the point of annoyance, they’d have better conversions. Maybe that’s just me; I’m really put off by it and usually click out immediately.
Well in regard to the emails. As companies switch to exchange online email spam will become a thing of the past. If the sending exchange online now days sees an account try to send over 100 emails the account is autoblocked for 48 hours, like wise if exchange receives over 100 emails from a singular address in a short period of time it auto marks it and blocks it. In regards to advertising Facebook lost users because they flooded users with too much advertising, now Google is doing the same and both are losing views to TikTok because of their low ad rate. In regards to search you'll see Google increase their ads in the next year to combat their lost searches to Bing and ChatGPT. This will backfire for Google but it also means web devs should start making sure their content and clients are uploaded to both Google and Bing for best visibility. As ChatGPT will pull results from Bing and not Google. You might also see Samsung and Apple switch to Edge with ChatGPT which will shift the mobile search space. If Microsoft plays their cards right here they might become a trend setter or they might fumble it hard.
Yeah, these people are creepy. A lot of people simply don't care which is why they probably do that. Personally I don't want to know all of that information about people. I believe in privacy, and informed consent. Users (of all kinds of technical knowledge) need to understand very clearly what they are giving, why it is being asked for, etc, etc. Google is obviously the worst.

“Disabling” the ability to click back out of a page!
Yeah, I hate that.

@@TravisHi_YT True. But back then, somehow I believed that they were just good at it and I wasn't. I still see some posts like that on Reddit.

Usually they're lying or are just lucky, it's really not bc they're "better" than you
@@anon-fz2bo More lying than lucky lol
There is an extension that blocks those annoying cookies' banners. It's called "I don't care about cookies."
Logically your points are valid but that one (ads on blog) is ok because of small blogger using google ad on header and inside articles middle
I can't imagine how stressful it would be to rely on that. I hear you though
Clicking on the big next arrow to read the next little related article.
Yeah I hate that
European here, I'm used to cookies banner its been years since the regulation. I don't even read the banner at this point.

Oh yes. Agree on all these irritating items
