I've been racking my brain trying to figure out just what "benefit" is had by this type of scroll-jacking but to no avail. It does seem to help in any way and all it does is frustrate the user.
Luckily the spacebar behaviour remains untouched, but you shouldn't have to experiment with each and every snowflake webpage just to have the default actions act as you would expect.
It's not the author's fault necessarily. Well, they _did_ choose the template and decided to keep it. But the template comes from a company who targets WP templates towards Female Entrepreneurs, most likely in a bid to win some slice of Google's keyword share with "Feminine Blogger Templates". Not sure what my point is, except that maybe they are incredibly out of touch with a lot of things these days. And I'll it there. This is turning into an unintended stream-of-though rant. Sorry!
