I'm really fed up of sites like this that hijack scrolling, it prevents you from skim reading. Instead of scanning 100% of the page's content I've just left the site after reading about 20%.

But it's so hip!

bleh

Not only did they screw with vertical scrolling I can't swipe to go back in history, it just moves up a slide. Super annoying.
I didn't even notice, I just assumed I reached the end of the page after scrolling one "page" and swiping down on my trackpad didn't do anything more.
I would have thought 20% was skim reading?
There's a difference between reading 20% of 100% and 100% of 20%.
