How (not) to get people to read your article:
Have a cookies popup take up half of the fucking screen the moment I visit for no reason.
How not to get people to read your article: have a fucking 99 slide presentation. Like what the fuck that couldn't have been done in a third of that?

All they had to do to get people to use their app was make it good, but they'd rather try 100 abusive tactics than to just build a good app.
The fact that Reddit uses a stock image of confetti with the watermarks still on it is pretty shameful honestly. I wonder if that could be reported to the copyright holder.
