Despite the silly negative comments here, there could be some REAL UX advantages to using animations in this way.
Loading large databases of information is very taxing on mobile devices. Users really don't like being interrupted when scrolling, but sometimes they have to be. Animations like this might make the server queue time a little less painful and more gracefully notify users when its ready.
Immediate example that comes to mind is the iOS app for Netflix.
- Produce 15y agoHere's a sane implementation for addressing server queue time - preload the next N results. Problem solved, no need to go back the the 90's with useless moving visual elements and sanity is preserved.
