Here [1]'s a nice comparison of how the most popular apps add users ('User  
Onboarding') and what they do wrong.

I was looking forward to this article, but it turns out to be a column of 40  
or so popular web apps with dozens of commented screenshots each, all  
organized in "click for next slide" format. That makes it almost totally  
unusable - I was hoping for a summary with some insightful conclusions;  
instead it's a huge amount of work. What's the point? Also, the screenshot  
format is javascript intensive, apparently, which made my fan come on. That's  
usually like a "navigate away from this page!" warning indicator on my  
machine. So I did.

Getting more ads shoved in your face is most likely the point of these
annoying websites...but yours was a rhetorical question, wasn't it?

And they wonder why the first thing I install is an ad-blocker...
