DON'T POP A NEWSLETTER FORM OVER THE TEXT I AM TRYING TO READ.
I'm sure this is an interesting article but the only way we will stop this practice is if we stop giving user-hostile publications our eyeballs.

I'm running NoScript in default deny all JS here - I read the whole article without ever realizing there was a "newsletter form" until after I saw your comment above.
If a click on a link of an article, I might actually want to read the article and not having stuff pop in my face or the content jumping around when the stock photo in the header has finally loaded.
I just ignore them and try not to visit the site again if possible. (well done marketing geniuses! Was that your goal?)
If Firefox had an "open directly to Reader Mode" I'd use that virtually always.
