As opposed to overly-engineered websites that hijack [0] scroll-behavior, which only increase anxiety and fury. ಠ_ಠ All the best, -HG [0]: web-designers take-note, the normal term [1] in the field for doing this refers to violent crime.

    That's really, really weird. What are you trying to accomplish with all that?

      I don't understand how it is harming anyone—unlike web designers who actively design inaccessible websites—and while I suppose I could offer a reason, I don't particularly feel the need to explain myself. I am sorry that this seems to have struck a nerve for you. And, as I genuinely mean to convey every time, I wish you… All the best, -HG

  While I fully understand, and try hard to refrain from making such comments, given that the actual point of this article is about stress-relief, but it leverages design patterns which are genuinely awful for accessibility and positive, consistent experiences on the web, it does actually feel topical to me. Put another way, I do not believe this is about a “tangential” annoyance. All the best, -HG

    Right. It's front and center; kind of the most obvious talking point about the article. It arguably generates a much stronger visceral reaction than the actual contents. That's why it's such a bad pattern.
