The worst offenders seem to be news sites run by traditional newspapers. Friends share links to these quite a lot, and very often I follow the link to an article that sounds quite interesting, and then... As you say, text jumping around, giant pop-ups, videos playing. I put up with it to a point, but if it's taking me three/four seconds and I'm still trying to close things down to read the article, then I'm thinking "That's a shame. I was interested to read the article... but not _that_ interested". I don't really understand why this happens. Isn't it just obviously bad web design at that point?
