Distractions. I am text-oriented and easily distracted,
so any auto-playing animation, video, audio, pop-out,
or basically anything that moves on the display and
causes distraction annoys me.
Static images and graphics are fine, and user-triggered
movement is fine, but the all-dancing, all-singing,
in-your-face sites can please take a flying leap at a rolling doughnut.
TBH, I even find distracting text annoying - Stack Overflow's
"Hot Network Questions" is a good example. I'm looking
at the details of how to parse version N of format X,
and it is not at all helpful when my eye catches:
"If a dwarf barbarian wears heavy armor how fast do they move?"
(actual HNQ question, no offense intended to the querent, dwarves, barbarians, etc.)
