I tried viewing the Look Studios website on Firefox, scrolling down with the touchpad. The website skips over some content sections and once I get to the page footer, the page suddenly scrolls extremely slowly. To the point where it looks like my browser crashes every time I reach the bottom of the page.

Indeed, the website seem fairly broken. i.e. the right side is clipped as well on Firefox (can't see the Contact link on the mast head). On (desktop) Safari hovering over a few sections causes the site to just randomly scroll to another section (e.g. Hovering any of the first 2 links of "Get in touch" goes a section back and the third one goes to the last hero section"). In mobile Safari (latest version) the website stops functioning after the first scroll until the end, the hero is the only thing that is viewable. Lastly, the infinite scrolling loop doesn't work backwards (i.e. scrolling up) which gets a bit confusing. There's something extremely fundamental in scrolling, it gets embedded in the user's cognition. I wonder what we need to do to raise awareness in finally stopping to meddle with it.

  Furthermore, it loads a bunch of multi-megabyte png's that it doesn't even display, adding up to a page load of 17 Mb. I wouldn't be surprised if it loads these images on mobile too, but I can't be bothered to check. I'm continuously baffled by how many of these agencies/studios have incredibly shitty websites.

After messing about with the Look studio page, I learned that they have a "force scroll to next session" bound to clicking. As it turns out, when using two finger scroll I frequently click, causing the page to leap around like you described.

  This makes a lot of sense thanks for figuring that one out! Working on all this feedback today :)

This is the worst website scrolling nonsense I've ever encountered. Wow.

  they would like to thank all their "fans" for congratulating them further on how "Wow" they think it is. you're all idiots.

I see the same thing except with no crashes. Anyway: this looks like a failed experiment to me. Next!
