Product pages that hijack scrolling are inexplicably popular.
I hate them, to the point it kills my interest in the product. It looks like an ad, the kind I use an ad blocker for.
Of course you are going to tell me, it is and ad, but come on, if I decided to scroll down, it means I am interested in the product and I want to know more. No need to hook me up with fancy visuals, it is already done, now, I want information, give me information in the way that is easiest to consume. If you want to be fancy, have a (not autoplaying!) video, but these sites are the worst of both worlds. They are not as cool as videos can be, and they do a terrible job at being informative.
I guess that since Google and the likes with all their analytics do that, it means it works, but to me, it is a turn off. I was kind of interested in that tablet, now I realize I probably don't need it. I probably wouldn't have bought it anyways, but there was a little spark, and you just killed it with that website.
