I spammed my friends when I tried to copy & paste title from the web page. It seems when I copy I actually get some extra spammy content to my clipboard. In my opinion this is also toxic.

In Firefox you can go to about:config and toggle 'dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled' to false to prevent sites from doing this.

...did you not read the contents of your pasted message before hitting send? I agree this is annoying but I don't think it quite rises to the level of "toxic".
