Why should I adapt my usage patterns to accommodate the shitty behavior of a few websites? Also, are you sure you are in position to tell other people how to use the web? I certainly don't think I am.

If you are randomly clicking on links on a website like this then you have no justification to describe a website as shitty for doing the one thing it is designed to do.

There's a website called rainymood.com and it does one thing and asking for user confirmation first would be quite silly.

We have justification if we're not warned beforehand.
You clicked a link that said Listen to Wikipedia! I know I expected audio when I clicked it.
Listen could imply that we need to listen to Wikipedia's message. I was expected an essay honestly.
+1 I'm not adapting either.
