Surely, if you don't like them you can just ignore them, so why would anyone find them annoying? I mean, slow loading pages are obviously a potential annoyance to some, as are pop-ups, animations and so on, but unless and until you decide to vote, a web poll is just a few words at the side of the page. Isn't it?
Cheers Indie - what I can't fathom though, is why slow loading pages feature so highly, surely if you enter a webiste and it is slow, you just close it or go back and find an alternative website - the information on a website is hardly unique is it.....
Ignoring is one option yes, however as previously said by others, slow loading pages could be exited out of, pop-ups can be blocked, annoying music can disappear by simply turning off the speaker... The logic can apply to lots of options.
