The big problem is that a lot of people still have slow internet in their area and it slows down the page from loading, in most cases. You have the vidoes that follow you when you scroll down the page.

Yes, and unfortunately, a lot of sites do this now.

I hate this. News sites do this all the time. Worst thing ever to do to a web page.
