There isn't a lot to go on here yet so we will have to watch to see how this new policy effects rankings.

Intrusive popups that block the article is the reason I don't read articles on FB anymore. As Elijah says, you can't get around them easily and they block the reading of the text. So I just don't surf FB anymore.

That seems to be exactly the type of pop-up Google will penalize. I think it is a good thing too.

Time they do so. I personally hate pop ups that do not give you a choice to say no, and they got 'stucked' to your device preventing you to proceed further unless you click. If anyone is using such pop ups here, or so called landing page, I will advise them to stop. It's the most annoying pop ups or landing pages ever. It will never convert in the long run. I actually hate aggressive marketing. I called them greedy marketers, too desperate to know what the customers want.
They are annoying but, at the same time, effective. I do agree that the ones with no way to close them are a bad idea.

I'm currently using an exit popup, so it only appears when the person goes to leave the site. While they are on the site it leaves them alone.
