  • download our app (on mobile)
  • asks you to make an account every time you scroll down a little further (like instagram actually does in my browser)
  • article is 3 paragraphs long, afterwards 15 paragraphs of unrelated "recommended content"
  • videos start autoplaying
  • there's an annoying source of sound that you can't seem to track down

oh btw: about that sound: Alibaba already does it (and uses it as a way to track you, as all browser audio APIs have slightly different measurable variables)
