I have to say, I completely hate this too. You'll be reading through a post and BAM,"lol, WHY DON'T YOU SUBSCRIBE TO MY MAILING LIST". 9 times out of 10, I'm going to hit command+w and move on to whatever is in the next tab rather than trying to close whatever is blocking my view of their content.

I really don't understand how this can be an effective advertising for whatever service they are pushing. Basically, they're saying: My content isn't good enough to get you to subscribe or follow me with a simple link at the end of the article, so don't even bother reading the rest of it because you'll only be disappointed.
