What's with the full-page splash that just says "Common Lisp" with no indication that you need to scroll to get to the content. This is worse than the 1990's "Click here to enter the site" silliness.
I think this trend really took off with Medium, which encourages large (and useless) banner images at the top of articles. It's an unfortunate trend. It probably also increases bounce rate if I had to guess.
I agree. A small change to show something peeking from the bottom to indicate there's more would go a long way. I liked Windows Phone's way of having stuff from the next "page" peek from the side/bottom to hint that there's more to scroll to.
