My first thought on interacting was "Thanks, I hate it."

Me too, I don't care how performant or consistent it is, it still feels clunky to me. If I'm reading primarily text content just give me a regular article format with a regular scrollbar. If your content needs fancy animations and transitions and stuff you should be making a video.

The main thing I hate about all of these is how low the information density is. I like to scan over dense text to see if I'm interested, but all of these try to force feed you information bit by bit at the speed they think is right for you.

the 90s web was extremely semantic in that the entire site was laid out as a table. tabular data is easily consumable!
