The Curse of the Ramones

To whomever designed that website: thanks a ton. It consumed 100% cpu, caused janky scrolling, and crashed Safari on my iPhone, repeatedly. The rest of the time that stupid top bar got in the way and covered 1/3 of the screen, ruining what could have been a delightful wake up read.

I sincerely hope Phil Spector pays you a visit once he gets out of jail and consumes 100% of your miserable existence.

Sorry for ranting, but dear lord there should be laws against that.

I absolutely hate the floating navbar trend.

This thing is cancer for user experience.

While on the one hand, we have the "Medium-ification" of websites where some remove the sidebar completely, increase the font size and make text easy to read, the other sites are doing crap like this.

I never click on a rollingstone link since about 2 years ago when opening the site on my android handset in the UK resulted in a malware popup that managed to charge something to my phone bill via payforit.

And you blame them for that, not Android or Payforit?

There's no particular reason you can't blame all involved parties:

  * android for allowing payforit to be invoked without user interaction
  * payforit for allowing fraudulent transactions
  * rolling stones for not vetting their advertising partners and taking money from scammers.

It's not like every party in the transaction couldn't do anything to prevent the problem.
