At least for me, it is a three-way distraction, but like I said, I will just continue to avoid it as much as possible.
- Visual distraction - while I am viewing other things that actually draw my focus, the scrolls are catching my peripheral field of view. Meh.
- Mechanical distraction - on my phone or mouse wheel, if the cursor point is inside one of the new info boxes, I don't scroll to where I a want to get to, I am stuck scrolling through their force-fed info. Meh.
- Information focus distraction. If I want info on an item, I would rather know where to go fetch it from when I want it, not have it at the front of my sight picture every moment I am looking at the page. I don't care who last won a championship or what color socks someone prefers except when I want to know it. It's like a HUD in a cockpit--it's a human factors thing. Except, not so important nor so closely engineered. Meh.
If it's such great info, it doesn't need to be force fed. From a Lean/Quality point of view, pushing info/products/services that are not desired/needed is classic waste. Real point is--was this really a requirement ahead of all the other stupid things to fix?
Yes, anal. Yes, OCD. But hey I can be both those things and I can also just vote with my feet, I also don't much mind if I am the only person that feels that way. It is OK. Not trying to make a case, just saying it isn't my thing in case SOM's vast expert staff of IT gurus was wondering.
So, meh.
Cheers
