It's fun for a demo. But if I ever find it used on a web page I visit, I shall track the owner down and place them in isolation for life.

i dunno, in the right context, with discipline and restraint, some of those would be fun for UX hints

For sure. I was being a tad facetious. We are potentially in blink element territory.

Then you'll absolutely love the URLbar marquee[0]. Combine this with a page title marquee and you can grab attention even if the browser is minimized. (Can now only get results for maps to bars named Marquee...). Now just add fartscroll.js[1] and you're set with the most annoying website.

A couple of Medium articles written cannily and then forwarded to appropriate business influencers, and this could be made a fashionable thing ...

Plenty of muscicians and DJs have blogs and also it wouldn't be out of place on a site like Soundcloud, if used sparingly.

This could be used in specific cases. Eg: To show association or relation between elements when one of it is clicked. We can "pulse" or colorize the related element.

Think of big fun parties with large displays. If what you project there dances with the tunes played in there, It will be interesting

The first actual use case that came to mind is using it as an April fools joke.

The links sliding from under the cursor. Right when you were about to click.
