Dang, I was reading this article, scrolled close to the bottom, and the site suddenly "reloaded" with completely different articles, removing the entire Microsoft keyboard article from the page. Why would they implement such a user-hostile design, making it impossible to access the content I came to the site for?

A/B testing showed that it increased the number of page hits ;)

And the massive whole page cookie permission redirect that forces a response without being able to see the article... I try to avoid techcrunch for this reason. Sometimes if I'm on mobile I just use reading mode which ignores whatever JavaScript is being used to do it.

I'm guessing they meant "darn it," not "Hello, HN lead mod. I have a question for you!"
