Check out how DigitalOcean does this, on their tutorials. As you scroll down, a small box appears in the left margin asking you to sign up for the newsletter. It doesn&#x27;t block any of the content and you can ignore it while you continue reading. That&#x27;s nearly perfect, and an example of how to do it right.<p>I still find the animation of it appearing distracting and I think it interrupts the &#x27;flow&#x27; of reading the article, but it was easy enough to block the element with my ad blocking extension.<p>As an aside, Firefox + Noscript are a thing of beauty. Using them I just don&#x27;t see most of these annoyances. Yes, it &#x27;breaks&#x27; many websites but this usually means a much faster page render without all the annoying stuff.
