Meta to the article itself but this SumoMe stuff is incredibly annoying. It breaks the flow of reading. There are highlights on here which end in the middle of a word [http://i.imgur.com/6zQjwvW.png]. And now I just had an email-newsletter popup occur halfway through reading the article.
I'm one of those guys who randomly clicks or highlights text while reading, and it's dead annoying if doing clicks on a text with the normal text mouse cursor causes an action!

Must maintain maximum APM while reading articles
Look, if I'm going to get out of Diamond in Starcraft 2...
On the other hand, the site renders fine with nothing whitelisted on noscript, so you could give that a try.
As soon as a popup like that happens, I just close the tab.
I thought that highlight was a link. Annoying.
The page also has horrible rendering defects in the android browser, suggesting a general lack of attention to the reader's experience.
This is why I use a local proxy (Though any AdBlock of course will work almost equally well).
Blocking load.sumome.com will help here.
