[tantek] do we have a term for that effect where you scroll part of the way down a page of content and then get hit with a login wall to keep scrolling?

#
[tantek] e.g. looks like Tumblr profile pages (that show posts) do this
#
[tantek] "Stop: Classified / Just kidding. Simply sign up for free to dive into the limitless, effervescent worlds right here on Tumblr. You won't regret it. In fact, it might just be the best decision you ever make. / Sign up or log in: / Continue with Google / Continue with Apple / Coming from Twitter? Sign up"

[Ana_Rodrigues] like paywall but it's a signup wall.. I don't know if there's an official name for it. I know instagram and facebook also do it.

[tantek] sure it's a variant of a login wall, however it's not a wall at first, that's the point. only after you scroll a bunch
#
sknebel login-jumpscare? ;)
#
[Ana_Rodrigues] I was about to say the same 😄 I call jumpscares to the newsletter ones that turn up out of nowhere when you're scrolling.
#
[tantek] jumpscares lol

#
cambridgeport90 It still surprises the hell out of me considering who owns Tumblr that they would do that. that sort of tactic seems beyond an organization like automattic.
#
[KevinMarks] For years Automattic has run ads on blogs when you're signed out
#
[jacky] interesting (and apologies if already linked) https://activitypub.academy/
