Changed perception? That has to be insane. Just a mere funky web page and you go from not interested to wanting to buy? Good grief. I am stunned that a mere web page can do that for any one in actual reality. You seem far too easily bought. Here, have a shiney thing, there you go...... I had no idea people were so easily manipulated, and equally happy to say so in public.
I really don't get on with these scroll down animated sites.
As usual with these things, I don't see anything useful or informative on the landing part of the page, begin to scroll, see I'm expected to scroll for god knows how long incase there is anything useful, all I usually see is show off animation, I sigh, then close the page.
Why am I suddenly expected to constantly scroll these things? Is it just so some web developer can show off their latest, now tired, seen it all before now, trick?
I want to land on a page, see if its worth anything, then possibly click for more info. If I want to see an animation, video, or what ever, just show the darn thing in a normal video. But I want a choice there, not a silly site that auto starts it, often hurting my ears, or waking up the house, with full volume in the process. If the landing page gives me interest, I'll happily watch a short advert, animation, or whatever to get more info.
Why all this scrolling? There are much simpler ways to show all this, without me having to almost work to get to see it. Its not my message, its theirs. Why are they making it harder for me to see their message? I just left the page.
Just me?
Oh, BTW, I have some magic beans for sale on a pretty website. Any takers?
Im not in to lying, hiding and pretending. I dont like these sites. I have explained why. I stand by that. To normal non "Critical, stressed, agitated, easily annoyed and aggravated" people, that is called feedback.
Additionally, I dont insult people who have an opinion different to mine. If I did, I might suggest I might not be the one looking like an "asshole".
(BTW, These " " are quotes from the OP, not a weirdo scare thing that as a Brit I don't understand)
Does he do that to the conversation partners, or does he use them just as the stylistic figure? If you know an example of the former, please cite. For the later, it still doesn't represent him particularly favorable, but it's his choice of how he wants to be seen.
You're the asshole. I didn't think you were an asshole for falling for marketing gimmickry (because that's what it's for), but combined with the PC nonsense trying to persuade someone to self-censor for having a different opinion than yours..
There is a small nugget of a point somewhere in this guy's assholery, IMO. It is a little strange that just some fancy (perhaps superfluously so) use of web technologies would convert you so easily?
i think saying you "feel like" going out and buying something is not the same as "i will absolutely buy it now without looking into reviews or anything else whereas before i saw the ad i would never have bought it." The first suggests that something moved you emotionally. The other might be more irrational.
Maybe if you make a pretty website he would "feel like" buying some magic beans and eventually decide not to.
personally, i love the scrolling. you get to stop and look at things. in the future, these are going to have much more interaction and exploration. That's the next logical step.
