Bug: Dark Pattern UX

[grawlinson]

Describe the bug

User hostile popup modal on the website.

To Reproduce

1. Go to the website.
2. Look at poor excuse of guilt tripping into donating. On mobile, it takes up 2/3 of the screen.
3. Close the website.

Expected behavior

Absolutely zero dark patterns on the website.

Hi @grawlinson, I’d like to help investigate and test this dark pattern UX issue on Python.org. Could you please assign me so I can start contributing to a fix or provide detailed feedback?

Not sure if this ticket (especially with its phrasing assigning ill intent) is useful to keep, given the discussions already happening on the forum.

Closing, the donation popup has since been removed.
