Seconded. 99% of the crap on websites is not the information I need and it's wasting my limited resources:
- battery - monthly bandwidth cap - RAM - attention (pop ups, things that blink, things that scroll) - patience for privacy breaches
Pure text is the "better experience" most people want.
The obnoxious thing about this comment is that we often do ask users. Every company I've worked at does user testing and surveys, etc, and no one has ever complained about this stuff. Users do get excited for more interactivity and intuitive functionality, which is easiest to build in Javascript. You're assuming we haven't asked, when actually we have, and everyone else disagrees with you.
Thank You! I could not have said that better myself.
It's also their site... to make how they want.
The people who share your sentiment are a tiny minority, like IE users.
The web is more than static websites.

Sure - see my comment elsewhere where I acknowledge that. But all I'm asking for is static sites where static sites are appropriate.
OMG. For this 'better experience' and 'reimagining what the web can become' did you bother to ask the users you pretend to cater for? No?
Listen carefully: the only experience I want from any website is to get to it, get the info I want, then I fuck off sharpish. I do not want 'experience' or any bloody 'reimagining' thank you. I have work to do.
