Yes, yes, yes! I am so sick of sites putting fixed top bar, and fixed side bars as well. Add "clever" bar animation in as well, and you get the awful UX we have today. Classic case of people inventing a problem to solve.

It's not just the awful UX of today. It's the awful UX of yesteryear, except this time it's the website owner's fault. https://i.stack.imgur.com/pOAAU.jpg

For some ui, fixed sidebar is fine imo. The headers that scroll down with you, on the other hand, can go extinct

Fixed sidebar doesn't work well for mobile devices. A button to show them works, though.

yes I mean on desktop. Original comment was something along the lines of all position fixed is bad, which I don't agree with. If it doesn't cause distress, doesn't distract the user, I don't take issue with it.
