National Geographic has been driving me crazy with this email popup. I won't be giving them my email, so sadly I will not be reading any National Geographic articles.

I personally just use support@ emails. There's a good chance it opens up a support ticket and slightly annoys someone. you could also use caprivacy@twdc.com to really tick them off. It's sad Disney has to stoop this low.

support@nationalgeographic.com?

Just hit F12 and paste this into the console when they ask for it document.querySelector('.Modal').remove(); document.body.classList.remove('Scroll--locked'); document.body.style.overflow="scroll"; document.body.style.position="static";

Nice. I've been finding myself using the F12 tools more and more recently to tweak websites I use often - say to change the background colour or font. Not a web dev, but it's fun to look under the hood and play about with things.

Yep! But really if you want to stick it to them just look at their contact or privacy policy and you should get a real email.

Tangent: I used to subscribe to the mag for years.

I was getting steadily more frustrated with the shift towards US domestic content and away from nature and the world, but I there was still good stuff in there and I was a big fan of sponsoring the research and exploration.

Then they sold to Murdoch, and so my subscription was no longer fuelling the research and exploration stuff, so I stopped in disgust.

Still miss what I remember of the 'good old days'.

I don't see the popu. But I do see an advertisement every 1.5 screens I scroll down. Extremely annoying. Article itself isn't bad though

I can't even dismiss the modal: > "Sorry, this campaign is not available in your area" Then why in the seven seas do you even produce the blasted popup ?

It's different teams doing the popup and running the campaign.
