Yeah this wasn't a particularly bad example, I just noticed it that's all (it's not the first time either). The article was engaging, but it was jarring to look over and see the scrollbar not move.

I just don't like the idea that someone somewhere had decided that to increase "engagement" they need to lie to me about how far into the article I am. I get that they're probably fighting the recent trend of declining attention spans but I don't know if I like the solution being subtle manipulation.
