I like how I got to the site, get a 1/2 second flash of the article which is then covered up by a full screen popup telling me to enable javascript (I use noscript). I just wanted to read the goddamn article!
I see this pretty often and I have a tip for developers who really want to insist on JS without infuriating their visitors: Don't let me see the site work before intentionally breaking it to try and force me to be tracked by your marketing code.
