dickover — a modal panel, popover, or curtain presented by a website or app, deliberately obscuring its own content to frustrate the user with an unwanted, unnecessary, mandatory interaction; e.g. asking the user to accept “cookies”, subscribe to a newsletter, install the website’s mobile app, agree to terms of service, or anything else that the user couldn’t give two shits about.
tumblr has had an incredibly annoying one since forever, the login wall. It shows up while scrolling down about half a screen to tell you you can’t browse any more of it without an account. There are greasemonkey scripts to remove it, but every once in a while tumblr changes the way it’s displaying that shit, so the scripts have to be updated.
(Yeah, I know, tumblr. Don’t judge, I used to download a lot of Sims custom content, and a lot of sim modders like tumblr, for a reason I still don’t fully understand)
