Google Search Console Sending Notices For Intrusive Interstitials - Search Engine Roundtable

Google is sending out notices about intrusive interstitials to sites that are placing these interstitials in a possibly annoying manner on their sites. The email subject lines read "Improve your page experience by removing intrusive interstitials from domaingoeshere."

I have yet to see a screenshot of this notice, so it is hard to say if this is a manual action or some sort of just friendly reminder from Google? I mean, I do not see intrusive interstitial on the list of manual actions yet. We do know there is an algorithmic action there with the page experience update (even for desktop pages), but Google doesn't email via Google Search Console for algorithmic issues, they email for manual actions, not algorithms....

I spotted a thread at Google Webmaster Help with one person writing the message the received:

I have received the email whose title is "Improve your page experience by removing intrusive interstitials from mtckitchen.com". I have a pop-up sign-up form and I wonder if there is the best way to keep the sign-up form visible to our audience but not make it an intrusive interstitial. If you have any idea, I would like to hear that! Thank you.

Also, David Iwanow shared on Twitter that he spotted one last week also:

hmm @JohnMu any guidance on the interstitial notice penalty notices in Google Search Console that some sites are seeing? I haven't received one yet so don't have a screenshot to share... pic.twitter.com/8Pu8HAouiI
