Is that a scrolling marquee in 2017?

I know we used to rubbish them, but in a world of auto playing video ads, flash animations and unnecessary javascript scrolling marquees seem like the least of our problems.

Used sparingly, the <blink/> tag was at times practical. Unforunately those that used <blink/> used it zealously.

I feel like there's should be a word that described the things that get ruined by a small number of abusers. I'd probably already know it, if such a word were coined, but maybe not.

Tragedy of the commons?

[tritosomal]

I think that's reserved for neglect.

Sadly, it doesn't even require JavaScript, it's CSS:

    animation: marquee 20s linear infinite;

I think s/he meant "scrolling marquees seem like the least of our problems in a world of auto playing video ads, flash animations and unnecessary javascript"

You beat me to it! To come across one now fills you with nostalgia!
