Don't you find that obstructive? Halfway through the article I am reading (still deciding if its good or not) and I scroll down to read more then a faded dark background popup comes up asking me for my email when I'm not even finished reading. Putting a subscription box at the bottom of the page after the article is fine, but distracting a user when reading an article halfway is rude and counter productive.
That's STILL not the exit intent popup. That only happens when you stop reading and go to leave.
I personally don't like the forced left column reading of this site. I'd rather read on the right. I don't like that the email subscribe box follows me down, it makes me dizzy.

I'm not OP, but neither.
It means the system is designed to notice you are leaving, and prompt you.Don't you find that obstructive?
