It’s probably psychological, but I always perceive skeletons as slow. Maybe because mainly slow-loading sites like new reddit or facebook use them?
But now that I think about it, I also see them for payment forms, where the loading time is usually short. Thinking more about it, I think they annoy me because they fake having loaded something useful. But there is no interaction yet, nothing I can do. A spinner is truthful, a skeleton is a lie. Interesting, I had never thought about this before ;)
