Author is a doofus, but there is one context in which I sorta agree with this sentiment.

It drives me up the wall when, according to my browser, a page is done loading, so I go to click on something and bam, a subscription/cookie/whatever popup appears and steals my click in the millisecond between when I decided to click and when my finger reacted.

I hate that and I'm guessing it is a feature, not a bug.

Or an ad or something loads in and shifts everything around. Sometimes I don't even end up clicking on anything meaningful to me, the website, or the advertiser. It's just bad design and an annoying user experience.
