I swear, I don't know why people keep doing this. Are there any benefits to highjacking scrolling behavior that I don't know about?

- EvRev 5y agoIf I had a lot of legal text that I wanted people to scroll by then this would be a good dark pattern.
- thekashifmalik 5y agoThat's at least one use-case I hadn't thought of haha. I wonder if there are any legitimate non-dark pattern use-cases.
- lelandfe 5y agoWayyyy back in the day, people thought they could make smooth scrolling "better," e.g. nicer easing, more responsive, etc. There is, however, no actual benefit to this, no.
- resonious 5y agoIn this case it's crazy choppy for me. My firefox updates my scroll position on this page at like 10FPS on a recent ultrabook. So definitely not a success story for "better smooth scrolling".
