Personally, I'm never going to subscribe to any newsletter ever. If I like someones content enough, I might bookmark the page or subscribe via RSS. However, currently the page rudely interrupts before I've even finished reading. I've (probably) never visited your site before. I don't know if I like the content or not. If I reach the bottom of the page, there's fair chance I might. A notice at the bottom like "If you liked this, maybe you'll like my newsletter". It's far less disruptive and way more polite.

I hated popups in the 90's, same as I do now. It's an immediate bounce for me.

I also don't use email subscriptions, unless it is my favorite person. But I don't know how many of them are subscribed via RSS.
