Do yourself a favor and visit this link. The transitions are so good.

If we keep pouring software development resources into such silly things, I can totally understand why we're in an automation crisis.

  Marketing and style are the short term profit hack deployed when a company has decided that "money now" is supposedly better than "sustainable money later"

  Did you do a split test on this design and find that the page without these transitions provides more value? No?

    Do you really believe this stuff improves reading?

On my Android phone with Brave browser it's pretty terrible. Does anyone who wants to read things actually enjoy sites that hijack scrolling? I can see nothing positive in it. Maybe it looks neat but in terms of usability it's just terrible. Maybe we need less designers and more writers?

I found the endless scrolling for dribs and drabs of content to be horribly annoying, and the graphs didn't seem especially meaningful to me.

IMO do yourself a favor and visit the link for an example of how not to present information. On my screen (firefox, Linux, 30" monitor), scrolling and page up/down puts text boxes at random places. Most of the time the screen is 90% empty with a small text box that is not even displayed fully. If possible, I am all for elegance in presenting information, but I almost always prefer to have less eye candy and more content. My 2c.

  The plots and data visualizations are good, but all the tiny flying text boxes and transitional animations are terrible. Would it kill them to include a version that had static text and graphics that you could print out? Bad, inaccessible format for simply reading.

Transitions? All I saw was that scrolling would bring me back to graphs that I'd already seen, which, after a ten second wait, would be abruptly replaced by new graphs. If these long pauses are "transitions", I see nothing to admire.

Tough crowd. I'm viewing it on a desktop. Looks great to me.
