I have a habit of compulsively selecting text on webpages for no real reason. So I quickly realize when pages like this one aren't actually using text, and then I find it so distracting that I can't actually pay attention to anything and just give up.

I have the same habit but it was the retina screen that tipped me off. All the images are slightly blurry on a high-DPI display and I immediately notice because I've been spoiled by super sharp fonts and crisp images.

Weird I have the same habit however what clued me in was the images too forever to load and they were pixelated before they were fully loaded.

I do this too, and images of text are bad, but much worse are the places that open up popups when you click on text.

Nope. It's a thing, for some reason. I've got it as well. There's even an xkcd[0].
