Do Users Scroll? – People Don't Scroll
- Jaruzel 9y agoBut what about mobile devices that have no visible scroll bars?
- esolyt 9y agoOSX by default doesn't have scrollbars either. I had changed the setting though, so it was obvious to me that there is more content. But I can easily imagine people not scrolling down and assuming there is no content.
- jackvalentine 9y agoI think “frustrated scroll” might be a pretty common move when presented with what looks like a broken page.
- geobadawi 9y agoWhat's the point of injecting all these scripts for such a simple website?
- mpweiher 9y agoBetteridge's law, despite the cute little thing at the bottom. I actually closed the window the first time, because it looked like the site had just failed. Then I suspected a self-referential joke and there it was. So a funny once, otherwise no.
- tmdvs 9y agoTheres a great article on UXMyths discussing the myth that users don't scroll: http://uxmyths.com/post/654047943/myth-people-dont-scroll http://uxmyths.com/post/654047943/myth-people-dont-scroll
- nameequalsmain 9y agoThis website does >100 requests and weighs 1.1MB compressed. What a waste of bandwidth and resources.
- choishere 9y agoI would imaging this is kind of intentional?
- yakshaving_jgt 9y agoI don't think somebody would intentionally use Wix to inflate their payload.
- nameequalsmain 9y agoWhy? Here's a <1k site that accomplishes the same thing: https://reinefjord.github.io/peopledontscroll-lite/ https://reinefjord.github.io/peopledontscroll-lite/
- taneq 9y agoThey don't when the page wants to load 8 different external scripts, 5 different tracking beacons, 13 things automatically blocked by uBlock Origin, and then even when you enable all scripts it still just says "Yes they do."
- cannonedhamster 9y agoI didn't realize that the page actually did anything at all for just this reason. Thanks for taking one for the team...also why was this in a script in the first place? Shouldn't it just be text?
- meshy 9y agoIt's pretty easy to miss the joke when on a portrait monitor...
- steanne 9y agothere's no need to scroll, all the noscript errors fit on one page.
- zichy 9y agoPeople love to scroll. Don't annoy them by using fixed headers: http://zichy.de/public/siufh.html http://zichy.de/public/siufh.html.
- pgl 9y agoThis bookmarklet has changed my browsing experience for the better: https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/ https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/
- dvfjsdhgfv 9y agoWonderful! It seems there is an arms race between marketers and designer on one side and users on the other.
- nathcd 9y agoHere's another tool for getting rid of sticky headers for uBlock Origin users: https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances https://github.com/yourduskquibbles/webannoyances
- MattBearman 9y agoWell this was confusing. I wouldn't consider my monitor to be particularly large or high res (Apple 27, 2560 x 1440) and I didn't have to scroll to see the 'Yes they do' message
- tappaseater 9y agoCharlie don't scroll!
- Jaruzel 9y agoI'm going to give you an up-vote purely for the bastardised film ref. :D (Now watch us both get voted down to invisibility!)
