Annoying pop-ups for SA "premium service"
Is it really necessary to get a pop-up asking me to subscribe to your premium service every 5-10 clicks? Beyond annoying.
Duplicates 4
Customer support service by UserEcho
Same here, this is too much!!!
These pop ups are as bad as an endless stream of Liberty Mutual or MyPillow commercials
ENOUGH
Can't take it much longer. Have to leave the site.
Me too.. if they keep this up I'll just leave Seeking Alpha
It is pathetic to have a popup this often. Do I need a better popup blocker?
definitely don't need more popups beyond the first. Stop doing your best Youtube Premium impression - it's just obnoxious.
Very obnoxious. It is literally every 10 clicks.
ENOUGH
Every 10 clicks on Seeking Alpha I get asked to upgrade to premium. ENOUGH ALREADY
You people are worse than MyPillow commercials
Every 10 clicks I get asked to upgrade to Premium
STOP IT
I've been asked to joined SA "Premium Service" over a dozen times today in less than two hours.
Seeking Alpha, stop with the pop ups asking to join your "premium service" ENOUGH
Seeking Alpha, is it necessary to spam your readers with pop-ups for your "premium service" every 10-15 clicks? ENOUGH ALREADY
Stop with the CONSTANT POP-UPS for your premium service.
Over a dozen times today I have been spammed with this Premium Service invite ENOUGH ALREADY
Stop spamming your users for your premium service TAKE THE HINT
STOP THE ANNOYING POP UPS EVERY 10 CLICKS
POP UPS spamming the reader to join Premium Service now every 10 clicks
ENOUGH
Seeking Alpha, STOP with all the POP UPS for your premium service.
Popups hijacking browser behavior, sticking you at the top of articles when you were trying to see the newest comments, locking free features under "notable calls".
This website will burn as you chase away your value.
Good point khanjar24 about the ridiculous popups screwing up the new comments.
Whenever I get a popup, I exit Seeking Alpha.
The more they spam the less I use SA

I agree that the pop-ups are too many too frequently.
Seeking Alpha...... stop the annoying popups
Every time I get SPAMMED with more ANNOYING popups I leave the site
Every 10 clicks or so I get SPAM POP UPS so I just leave and stop clicking any articles
STOP IT -- ENOUGH
Stop the SPAM
Agree, it's a pain!
Please stop spamming us with your pop-ups
Annoying
STOP THE POP UPS
stop the pop ups Seeking Alpha you people are getting worse than the My Pillow guy with the spam
Stop the pop ups ENOUGH
STOP the POP UPs for the Premium Service you guys are getting worse than the My Pillow guy.
Stop the annoying pop ups Seeking Alpha
Agreed, this is now at obscene levels of forcing ads in front of me that I click out of every time. Not only is it a bad UX, it is a very low-rent tactic as well. If it doesn't stop soon I'm going to go elsewhere for stock charts, info & commentary. I like SA but there are plenty of other places to get the same stuff.
Pop ups even screw up the new comments on a page Yahoo Finance is looking better with each Seeking Alpha pop up
Thank you for your feedback, I will update our marketing team regarding the same.
We aim to provide our users with the best possible experience on Seeking Alpha. Looking forward to your continued support.

you didn't stop the annoying pop ups. What in the actual fuck are you people doing?
Your annoying pop ups screw up the new comments to where we have to hunt and peck to find the new comment instead of getting directly to them.
When this happens, I just leave for a few hours.
STOP THE STUPID POP UPS
Seeking Alpha, your stupid POP UPS screw up the new comments
When this happens, I just leave the site altogether. I am not going to hunt around for a new comment when it was screwed up by your stupid POP UP asking me AGAIN to subscribe to your premium service.
ENOUGH
Stop the obnoxious pop ups Seeking Alpha
Seeking Alpha, stop with the stupid POP UPS you even mess up reading new comments with the stupid POP UP
Enough of the POP UPS
Take the hint, I don't want your Premium Service
Stop the POP UPs - take the hint I don't want your Premium Service

You are putting the MyPillow spammer to shame with all the pop ups

There is a maximum limit of 3 per day. Are you seeing it more than that?
Thanks,

Director of Product, Seeking Alpha
3 pop ups a day??? More like 3 pop ups every 10 minutes.
Disgusting marketing strategy.
Only MyPillow is worse.
The constant POP UPS are OBNOXIOUS
Hi,
Advert for Premium service is scheduled at 3 ads/day/user. Please let me know if you're getting it more than 3 times a day.

As you can tell from the comments, these are annoying. Or perhaps in the message that says one of my portfolio stocks has news I can use in the premiums service actually included the ticker, I could just remove it from my portfolio.
Can't Seeking Alpha just accept a "No, I don't want it" answer, and remember it?"
Keep hitting me 3 times a day and I'll stop using seeking Alpha altogether.
SA Admin Kyshal
3 times a day? It's about every few clicks.... it's annoying as hell..
Pop ups are way more than 3 times a day. ENOUGH

Supposedly there is a mamxium of 3 pop ups a day allowed - IT IS WAY MORE
stop it
The POP UPS are obnoxious. You have made sure I will never buy the Premium Service because of the constant spam.
I agree: Please stop this anmnoying hard-popup. You've already driven me to another site for my primary financial news watch. If it continues, I'll just move to another site altogether. Please remember my choice when I close the popup.
PS: I get it: You want people to upgrade to the PREMIUM service. I don't want it.
PPS Really, I undertstand, and you don't need to remind me every time I refresh the page, but I still don't want the service.
PPPS: Seriously. You can stop now.
PPPPS: PLEASE.
I am a premium subscriber and get prompted to subscribe to premium... grrrrrrr...
Wow, even a premium subscriber gets this constant spam???
I am asked several times a day every single day to sign up for Seeking Alpha's Premium Service.
I don't want it.
The fact I get spammed so much will make sure I will never consider buying it even for $1.
Enough of the POP UPs every single day
Another day, another stream of pop ups to join your Premium Service
Stop the POP UPS Seeking Alpha
I'm getting it every time I refresh and it's pushing me towards quitting this website if it isn't removed.
All of a sudden I am getting these

I'm SICK of all the POP UPS
STOP THE POP UPS
Seeking Alpha STOP the pop ups
you are worse than the My Pillow guy with the endless spam
Your POP UPS never end ...... cut it out
Stop the POP UPs
STOP the annoying pop ups Seeking Alpha
VERY ANNOYING! Please stop.
Once again Seeking Alpha wants me to sign up for their Premium Service.
I've only been asked over 1000 times before, and I don't want it anymore now than I did the first time you asked.
Somehow, you are determined to try to change this.
Seems you've adopted the My Pillow blitzkrieg strategy to ANNOY PEOPLE TO DEATH
STOP THE POP UPS
Seeking Alpha -- Stop the annoying Pop Ups
Seeking Alpha - stop trolling your users with POP UPS for your Premium Service
You are worse than Geico Commercials or the My Pillow guy with your spam
Seeking Alpha, STOP the damn pop ups!!!!!
Now you are doing another pop up trying to send me notifications.
You are spamming your users to death
Stop the ANNOYING Pop Ups Seeking Alpha
Seeking Alpha, stop trying to send "notifications" and spam users constantly with pop ups
Stop the popups! I am not interested in whether on of my portfolio has been upgraded or down graded , not interested in "Pulling the Trigger" on a stock, etc. I get lots more than three. Disgusting Ads!
And what about that annoying "your portfolio is out of date" popup?
Indeed, how can my portfolio be out of date... it's just pathetic. Not that I care, I quit using SA and using other sources because I'm definitely not going to pay for services when they're behaving like this.
It seems the solution to annoying your customers with website popups was to make them trigger more often! Brilliant!
Alchete
Its as if SA is TRYING to run off anyone who does not pay. Its going to be very effective at doing that. Signing up new subscribers? Absolutely NOT.

Stop or I'm bailing - totally obnoxious.
Ge some website developers who haven't just finished school.
What a bad way to do businees adding pop up window every 10 seconde booooooo
I'm using Firefox - all I can do is look at my portfolio. Anyone else getting this?
Everything else gets an ad in front of it that can't be worked around.
Same here. Using with Firefox, basically everything is blocked with continuous popups. Basically can't use this website anymore.
Anyone paying attention ? I can't rear a single article !
FYI, article Paywall is now in place.....
Can't read anything anymore
Same issue here. VERY annoying.
Getting your popup with EVERY access of Seeking Alpha. Will not continue to patronize a site that uses your absurd tactics.OXFK
Everybody I spoke to is so disappointed by the course of action of SA. Big mistake from SA in our opinion.
If you want to continue to read every article in this site without paying the high subscription send me an email at:
koutsocheras99@yahoo.com to guide you.
I've had a similar experience - I was offered another Free Trial (despite me having one a month or so ago) followed through and when I clicked 'Start your Free Trial Now' I was charged $29.99 for a ONE MONTH subscription. I've requested a refund as this is completely unacceptable.
I use the SA mobile phone app just to look at my portfolio - it's an easy to read at a glance screen.
I've gone back to Fidelity and TD Ameritrade for news. I read (or looked at) many SA articles on a whim. For the most part, I would go straight to the comments section - that would tell me pretty quickly if the article was worth reading. Who would even click on "5 reasons to buy... and 5 reasons to sell" articles" ? written by people who don't even own the stock !
I don't normally waste my time on commenting like this, but SA has only gone down hill over the years.
how can one cancel their subscription??
Same here
Site has become useless. Can't even read my monthly limit as the damned popups block all the articles. Not interested in the free trial as I'm reading too many complaints from people trying to get money back from what was supposed to be a free trial. Went from a great investor community site to this ad nightmare
