Annoying pop-ups for SA "premium service"

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 

Pop ups every 10 clicks = absolutely annoying and ridiculous. 

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?

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.

I get a pop up every time. You guys have become spam and you're wasting my time. I could live with a max of 3 per day., but that's not happening. Please stop the spam.

Yes....Git rid of the Damn ad Pop Ups.....Everyone shoulld cancel !!!!

Hi all,

Pop-ups are scheduled at 3 times/day/user. if you're receiving it more than that please share screenshots and let us know. This will help us serve you better.
Please note that Pop-ups are different from the side banner ads.

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 

Pop ups are way more than 3 per day ENOUGH 

Hi,

Can you please share screenshots of the pop-ups you're receiving, it will help us in understanding the issue better.

STOP THE POP UPS     

Your annoying POP UPs never end 

ENOUGH 

The constant POP UPs are awful

STOP IT

Stop the POP UPS for your Premium Service Seeking Alpha 

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.

rjm22

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
