The only thing more annoying than carousels are websites that hijack mouse wheel to do their own (always) poorly implemented scrolling.

The only time I've actually liked this pattern is in some New York Times stories. They do it very well. Example:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/17/world/asia/in...

Is there a non-paywalled example?

I think Apple started that trend with their product pages, and now web designers try to copy that and end up making it even worse.

half way down the page - to suddenly reduce the size of the page content.

This one drives me nuts. So many sites abruptly stop doing something I want (scrolling) to do something I don't (resizing a map or other image), so then I have to undo two kinds of designer brain damage instead of just one.
