This website does >100 requests and weighs 1.1MB compressed. What a waste of bandwidth and resources.

I would imaging this is kind of intentional?

Why? Here's a <1k site that accomplishes the same thing: https://reinefjord.github.io/peopledontscroll-lite/

I don't think somebody would intentionally use Wix to inflate their payload.

People love to scroll. Don't annoy them by using fixed headers: http://zichy.de/public/siufh.html.

This bookmarklet has changed my browsing experience for the better: https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/

Wonderful! It seems there is an arms race between marketers and designer on one side and users on the other.

Here's another tool for getting rid of sticky headers for uBlock Origin users: https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances

They don't when the page wants to load 8 different external scripts, 5 different tracking beacons, 13 things automatically blocked by uBlock Origin, and then even when you enable all scripts it still just says "Yes they do."

I didn't realize that the page actually did anything at all for just this reason. Thanks for taking one for the team...also why was this in a script in the first place? Shouldn't it just be text?

Theres a great article on UXMyths discussing the myth that users don't scroll: http://uxmyths.com/post/654047943/myth-people-dont-scroll

Well this was confusing. I wouldn't consider my monitor to be particularly large or high res (Apple 27, 2560 x 1440) and I didn't have to scroll to see the 'Yes they do' message

there's no need to scroll, all the noscript errors fit on one page.

It's pretty easy to miss the joke when on a portrait monitor...

But what about mobile devices that have no visible scroll bars?

I think “frustrated scroll” might be a pretty common move when presented with what looks like a broken page.

OSX by default doesn't have scrollbars either.

I had changed the setting though, so it was obvious to me that there is more content. But I can easily imagine people not scrolling down and assuming there is no content.

Charlie don't scroll!

I'm going to give you an up-vote purely for the bastardised film ref. :D

(Now watch us both get voted down to invisibility!)

Betteridge's law, despite the cute little thing at the bottom.

I actually closed the window the first time, because it looked like the site had just failed. Then I suspected a self-referential joke and there it was. So a funny once, otherwise no.
