pecuniumI hate Snap.com.
I don't mean dilike. I mean hate, as in wish it would sink beneath the waves, never to rise again.
Why? Because it interferes with my reading. It slows my machine. It distracts me; and it (for the way I use the web) hinders my use of the web.
When I see a link, I mouse to it, so I can see the address. But people who embed snap then block large chunks of the page I'm reading; and while it's polling to find that miserable little snapshot of illegible presentation it's stealing packet slices which are (more often than not, looking for other things in the background).
If I want to spend the time/energy to look at the page, I click the damned link.
I guess what pisses me off it that it's forced on me. I can't opt out.
