That has got to be the most annoying website I've seen in a long time. As I started skimming the page looking for the point where it talks about population imbalances, I had scrolled down a few pages and was asking myself "what the hell does this article have to do with population?" before realizing it's just stringing a bunch of articles together in one big scroller.
Only then did I realize that it was just the top 1/3 of the beginning of the scroller (which I skipped because it looked like a bunch of spammy noise).

- mangeletti 11y agoThank you! I thought, "Either I'm getting old, or this is the worst site I've seen since 99.". Then, I clicked the author's name (at the top) and the page went blank, except for the header.
- Mindstormy 11y agoLogged into HN just to agree with you guys on how terribly that site is designed. I think the big issue is how if you keep scrolling it just pops another article into the feed so you can never stop scrolling. So there is no way to easily find the end of an article.
