What a horrible page to navigate
9 comments

On mobile, It’s hijacking my scroll in such a way that I literally cannot move further down the page. And “reader mode” is only showing me the first paragraph or so.

I’ll have to try again later on desktop. The content looks interesting but it’s literally impossible to read. I cannot get past the section that introduces Ernst and Young.

On desktop it keeps adding forced pauses to scrolling, of varying sizes, and you need to scroll down a between 1 and 10 pages worth to begin scrolling again.

It might "work" just fine on mobile (or not) but you may have stopped trying before reaching the point of re-scrolling, because it's insane.

I eventually managed to get far enough into the article that I thought I saw the main stat - the stat that 26% of the citations were hallucinated. Then the scroll threw me back to the top again and I gave up entirely on reading from my phone.

Coming back later on desktop, I see that the percentage keeps climbing the further you manage to make it down the page. The real stat is 60% of the citations were hallucinated.

I recommend just clicking and dragging the actual scrollbar on desktop for this one. Wild
Feels like my scroll is hallucinating
This is a whole 'nother level of user hostility, never before have I seen anything like it.
My iPhone automatically enabled reader mode - I disabled it to see what you are referring to and I agree…
Non-linear feedback with literal stalls, yikes.

Some people should not be allowed to make a website.

I'm usually annoyed by people complaining about scroll hijacking on HN but this site was a new level of bad.
I've stopped reading because of it. I can't scroll. Was this thing vibe-coded? Funny they are picking on EY for not reading their reports but it looks like they didn't test their website.
They put a lot of effort in to make it that bad!
Very difficult to use on mobile.
