I agree with the annoyances. Try reading any major US news site on your phone. You see a headline you want to read and tap on it. Sometimes the page is unresponsive. When it becomes responsive, it has loaded some new links to other articles, and what you tapped on is no longer on screen. Now, you're navigating to sothing you either didnt want to read or maybe already have.
This is a problem with all major news sites. CNN, NBC, FOX all do this to varying degrees. The main page is static, subsections are injected via async requests. It's annoying on a desktop (because you cant necessarily go back to where you were) and infuriating on a phone. I can't imagine what it's like for people on a limited data plan.
I also find it annoying when I see multiple links I want to read, but it's not obvious if I click on one, read it and go back that the other is now replaced.
