When the part of the page you select just so happens to be an advertisement that makes them more money, I wouldn’t give them the benefit of the doubt.
I wish there was a way to set up your device to not switch locations, like if it shows you something you can select, it builds the rest that is loading around that, to pick one locations and stick with it, or barring that, to discount selections made a fraction of a second before it changes position maybe.

Adding a delay would be extra work for no gain
Dark patterns aren’t infuriating to you?
They are, but not mildly.
Not mildly; excruciatingly.
