The article's worth it. The interstitial sucks though, I agree.

I'm not trying to be judgmental but, you'll never get anywhere if you let small obstacles in life deter you from your goals. Losing interest in something because of a pop-up that can be easily side-stepped causes you to miss the opportunity to read what I consider to be a fairly well-written story about one person's struggle with stuttering.
I also detest modals, ads, auto-playing anythings, etc. but when you can get past it simply by clicking the X provided in the modal I count that as more of a minor annoyance than a hard boundary which I refuse to cross.

I read it in reader mode. The piece is beautifully written and deep. Though Im not exactly a stutterer myself I learned something new about myself here. Im surprised it didn’t get more attention on HN

Presumably an author wants to be read at least as much as a reader wants to read a random article. If they present their piece in an obnoxious format, why bother?

It is true that I decided not to read the article, but I don't think that is indicative of a larger life pattern. In fact, I have a lot of extremely large obstacles that I face every day that haven't stopped me yet.

I, too, learned something about myself reading this beautiful piece.
I've long forgotten there was a popup modal.

I wish page architects could comprehend the level of revulsion I feel when I get into an article and something like a popup distracts me. It doesn't make me want to sign up or pay. It makes me want to find another source. I prefer when a site just blocks an article entirely.
