I stopped going there when literally the top third of my screen space was devoted to far left talking point popup windows and they banned half the country from expressing anything to the contrary.   Once they got to four or five (can't remember which) windows that I needed to individually close, I was done and haven't gone back by choice.

I never had the problem of all the pop up windows, or perhaps I just ignored them..

This is an example I found on the archive with a quick search.

It's not even as bad as it was when I gave up on them as there are only four (lights! STTNG reference) and only three are political obviously excluding their pledge drive.   When I left there were probably five political ones that I had to close down and then the more bog standard death notices on the right as well.   Even if I agree with the politics, that's an egregious amount of annoying windows to close down just to actually get to the real content of the subforums and threads (which on my screen at the link is only the bottom two lines of text on the whole screen).
