And don’t forget: The close button has to be -1px in size. God forbid you could close that obnoxious, epileptic video without opening the developer console.
And a poorly-made chatbot answering (with slow loading times!) bonus points if you can’t even get to talk to a human after 20 messages of “that’s not what I wanted” and “let me talk with a bone-and-flesh humanoid”
I think it’s pretty rational; if it was a person being that obnoxious they would be missing teeth from the number of times they got punched in the face.
Throw one of those bottom-corner “How can I help?” pop ups that makes the tab flash and constantly change the text in there too.
And “Install our app!”. And those glorious auto-play videos blocking your entire view.
You get bonus points if the auto-play video scrolls with you in the bottom right corner.
And hitting the close button doesn’t stop the video, it just disconnects it from the window so it can return somewhere on the page.
oh boy we’re getting so much engagement with our video player! People must love it to click it so much!
This is what happens when you base all your business decisions on algorithms, not human feedback

Even more points if, after closing the video, the video pops back up every time you scroll even a single millimeter back up the page.

Thank you.
Without the autoplaying and scrolling video that uses 1/2 of my screen, how will I ever focus on reading the page?

Netbrain has one that makes a sound. Annoying when you tuck their page in a tab. No site should throw sound out like that.
Those make me irrationally angry.
