If you use Substack and don't like this behavior you can turn it off, go to settings and look for "Subscribe prompts on post pages" and uncheck it.

I love Substack but think this feature is ill-considered. I am sure it converts by the numbers, but I want 100% of my readers to have a pristine experience reading, foremost.

I was hoping this would turn off the full page modal people see when they land on a post, but I already had it switched off, so I guess not.

These things are the reason I have JS off for Substack.
