Germany’s dividend-stripping tax scandal

I'd like to read the article, but instead I constantly get big animations all over the screen. Very distracting. Apparently this is a frivolous topic rather than something serious?

This should have been an animated video with the explanation narrated. They did 90% of the work, just needs someone for the voice over.

Yeah. I still managed to read the english part. Painfully and slowly, and only because the subject looked really interesting. If they just added a voice over and changed the format they would finally ensure that I wouldn't watch it, what seems to be the goal.

Yeah, it looked cute once, but every time I scrolled down something was animating. It was really distracting. I don't see a good reason behind animating every number from 0.

It is an infographic encompassing an article, which sadly I can't find translated to english on the site.

Having numbers start at zero and count up to the actual value isn't an infographic - it's a cheesy animation and one that annoys fast readers.

It made me enjoy it more, and spend more time on the page.
