When I worked at an MSP in early 2000s they would “prank” new hires with a site that did this. It would keep creating popups so you couldn’t close them. That stopped after customers heard it. More horrid graphical “pranks” replaced it of course.

Pretty much. Maybe worse. I'm not sure how the business survived for so long. That is barely the tip of the iceberg.
