    What’s worse is when you expect it, so you wait a second, and it still hasn’t loaded, so you click and the instant you click it shifts to an ad.

    Isn’t this a known dark pattern? Not so mildly infuriating for me.

      Only if it’s intentional, it can easily be caused by ignorance/incompetence too

          When the part of the page you select just so happens to be an advertisement that makes them more money, I wouldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt.

          I wish there was a way to set up your device to not switch locations, like if it shows you something you can select, it builds the rest that is loading around that, to pick one locations and stick with it, or barring that, to discount selections made a fraction of a second before it changes position maybe.
