Yeah, I hate these. It's like they think being passive aggressive will make me like them. Spoiler: it won't.

I've also seen "i don't like free things" once. It's like the Facebook "scroll if you hate Jesus and want puppies to die".

Even I hate those fucking things. Let's me know who to unfriend though. Jesus does not forgive. He does not forget. Expect him.sometimeinnearfutureIswaer
Jesus also sucks at spelling, but I'll let it go. You're from Israel so English isn't your first language. But you'd think after 2,000 years you'd have learned by now.
He has over 9000 bibles and they are all teaching children.

Not really. This is quite common in UX design. Nobody likes newsletters so you try and make them seem less like newsletters. Instead of writing "sign me up for your newsletter" you could write something like "type in your e-mail adress and recieve free stuff" or something like that.

Who falls for that? It's insulting the user's intelligence.
Hmm.. no, I don't like newsletters.

I was on the women's health website and it told me to enter my email address for a free meal plan. The only way to close that window was to click "no thanks, i don't want to lose weight"

It's how hipster coders give personality to websites. /s
I see a lot of these where the only options are "sign up" or "I've already signed up." I was pleasantly surprised that choosing "I've already signed up" actually made it go away, instead of prompting me to sign in or something.
