I think they might have been attempting to simulate a magazine-like experience, where the pictures that required more scrolling than normal were supposed to be like turning the page to a full page image. I feel like I've seen this attempted before but with flashing down arrows to tell you that you need to keep scrolling. Based on the reactions here, I don't think it was successful, but I do appreciate efforts to enhance the reading experience.

- normloman 12y agoMagazine experience sounds right. You know, the flat design people who railed against skeuomorphism missed the point. Sure, faux-wood textures on your website are a waste of time. But forcing a digital medium to behave like a piece of paper is as skeuomorphic as you can get.
