In this case it intrudes in the form of a pop-up starting "You’ve reached your limit of free articles... Special offer:"

It would be OK in the IETF to discuss how to create the technology for creating, or suppressing,
such annoying pop-ups. It would not be OK to discuss the terms of that special offer. Really that's all this draft tells us.

And yes, it's perfectly reasonable to call that a "red flag" issue.
