wiggle is the new blink

Came here to comment similarly. Interesting article, completely unreadable to me due to the wiggle of all the garbage all over the page.
Care to explain... I am lost on what the two of you mean. I didnt notice a page wiggle?
The ads on the page wiggle in place.

"You have free tickets waiting for you! [Click Here]" The [Click Here] button sort of vibrates.

"Win Tix to Unique SF events!" This popup wiggles dead-center on the page like it's hung from a single piece of thread and somebody pushed it.

Thanks... running ghostery and ublock so i didnt notice. On second viewing, the popup for winning tix showed and i saw it.
Yes, this added the page to the 'never visit again' list for me.
One example is the 'click here' button at the very top of the page.
Kill Sticky https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/ fixes that problem for me.
Soon we will have marquees again littering the page.
