Re: [csswg-drafts] [mediaqueries] prefers-reduced-motion prose leads readers to believe all animation should be stopped (#5594)

No, I agree with you @nattarnoff. 

I was just curious about how people with a really pronounced vestibular disorder deal with scrolling every day. And I think you are absolutely right about people looking away or "zoning out" for a bit when the content scroll-animates along the y-axis. 

I feel that scrolling animation somehow affects everyone on the planet and not just folks with a vestibular disorder. It is subtle but directly responsible for [shrinking attention spans](https://time.com/3858309/attention-spans-goldfish/)––text animating orthogonal to the reading direction kinda goes against the grain of saccadic perception in humans. Don't know if there is any research to back this up though.
