The combination of headers, ripped images, scroll jacking, and that it is posted from the source give this article a very blog spammy feel, optimized for that exact google search.

Thanks for the feedback. Honestly not optimised for anything other than trying to attempt a complete answer to a question we often get asked and see asked time and time again in the press, albeit usually answered in hyperbolic terms, i.e. "lawyers should never code" or "all lawyers should code", neither of which we agree with.

Scroll jacking is unintentional - not sure what you mean in regards to the article specifically. Be great to understand this better and fix? Is it the lazy loading of the images? If so, that's an attempt to boost the page loading speed.

Scrolling is horrible when using a trackpad like on a Macbook

This is good to know. We use mac and PC, plus a bunch of different mobile devices. Will do some debugging and UX testing! Thanks

You could have cut that sentence down to the first three words and I still would have wholeheartedly agreed with you. There is no justification for that design choice, in any circumstance.
