Perhaps the single most annoying thing about the internet right now:

You are trying to read a webpage. And one of these Snap.com pop-ups ruins the experience.

In the case above, it does not even show a preview of the linked site. YEEESH.

This is CRAP.

This “feature” is turned on by default in WordPress.com blogs. It’s easy to turn them off, but few people bother to do so. (They are turned off on this blog.)

And yes, I emailed the editor of the offending site above to ask that she turn them off too.

Can’t wordpress find a better way to monetize than this?
