I love the concept here (nice implementation too)
Removing the 'content' and just showing the structure of these annoying web elements in isolation has an interesting effect:
our minds typically do the exact opposite (to a certain extent)—the showcased elements are repeated so often they get partly filtered from experience: our minds know there's nothing interesting to them; a stored and practiced routine can be put on autoplay without conscious attention.
So the page serves to exactly invert that filter and highlight these elements that increasingly vanish[1] from our experience in response to repeated exposure.
