Count me as another one who really doesn't understand how others can stand the unfiltered "Modern Web", although I use a combination of JS whitelisting, HOSTS file, and a filtering proxy, so I might be on the extreme end.
I've had to help others, whose computers did not have such blocking software (and they might not want to), and had to physically put my hand over parts of pages "cluttered with moving shit" in order that it would not distract me and allow focusing on the content itself. These people are also the ones who tend to miss details in instructions and seem to blindly ignore things like (actually important) notifications and warning messages, which leads me to wonder if their natural state of mind while reading pages is so distracted that they have trouble focusing.
