After quite some time of daily competition amongst family & work colleagues, I guess the time has come to end my addiction and say "farewell" to the Stuff Quiz:

 

 

Yeah, Nah; I will not be logging in for that, k.thanks.bye.

Just click the cross and close the dialogue. It still takes you to the Quiz.

Sure, it may now; but I'm sure the intent is that it will become mandatory....

I use a throwaway address for all forums and misc sites I sign up for. Not surprising it gets hammered with spam.

I also have a wildcard catchall on my domain and use unique emails everywhere..

 

I just point blank refuse to be forced to create a login to do the quiz which for years hasn't required one and has no technical reason for needing one.

And, it's buggy.

 

I have a Stuff account, I clicked sign in and signed in. It redirected me back to the quiz and asked me to sign in again.

 

Bye Stuff.

Same for me! Stuff them! No more Stuff Quiz! It has been difficult enough getting News since the Upgrade.

I've also abandoned their quiz, but FWIW you can skip the login with appropriate ad blocking. Not sure if it's the OOB Ublock Origin rules or all my custom rules to make their site look nice, but I don't get prompted.
