Same on mobile Safari. On page load it immediately scrolled halfway down the article and covered up half the screen with a “trending articles” popover whose assets — including the dismiss button — failed to load.

Seriously, does anybody in publishing actually visit their own sites? I see UX like this and all I can think is, “gee, somebody got _paid_ to make this?”

Edit: I see from another comment that the scrolling was (partly) a result of the link being to an anchor tag. I stand by the rest of my point, though.
