It's the first thing I did. Recommended.

I’m just kind of surprised that it works to convert people.

Some of these things that we have are just common practices that owners of websites do that are seemingly done automatically without much thought to the experience.

If I get a popup, I'm pretty likely to just close the page, especially if I'm on mobile where closing them is more trouble.
