Clicking 'already a contributor' popped up a Google log-in screen.
Really?

Meta 🤣 Can also confirm, clicking Already a contributor brings up a login window for Google.

Same here. I've just had the popup for a second time (different computer/IP address, same GZ account).
But are you a contributor with the Google option?
Testing this as an option to subscription. This is not a subscription. It's for those who don't want to subscribe but want an option to contribute. We also had other discussions where subscribers asked for an option to contribute again.
You can just click the X on the top right of the modal dialog. If later you want to see it again, click the button at the bottom:

Also, I tested this same thing exactly two years ago. Revisiting it because of different options available:

I picked the blue button, did it work?
Were the baristas too greedy?
Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!
Possibly. I don't see the names for 24 hours it seems.
Thanks, anyway.

My main concern was that this would be like the Wikipedia donation popups, where it keeps popping up every time you use it until you donate or login.
If the X is a one and done thing it's less of an issue, though possibly still a bit intrusive for people who are already subscribers elsewhere.
Alright, feel free to tell me I'm stupid... (preferably explain why) is it supposed to still popup if I already subscribe... and if so, am I supposed to be able to stop that happening?

It will pop-up, as I mentioned because some people asked for alternative ways, even being a subscriber. If it is something people feel strongly I might remove it for subscribers.
If you click the X to close, it will disappear for a few weeks.

I have been prompted twice on two different machines with two different sessions.

Is it possible to have a less conspicuous version for people how are already subscribers?

It is just one design. Close it and it will disappear for a few weeks.

Sure, but that's a little annoying.

Okay not a fan, even if I was not a subscriber.
I understand this place needs to have monetization, but I am a little worried the current set of monetization isn't actually enough and if you're introducing this then I am more worried.
