I love Taylor Swift. Red is a great album. Speak Now is a great album. 1989 is a good album. This? This is bad. It’s almost ok. And then oh dear God that shite excuse for a chorus kicks in and it’s all over.

Using one bad ideas (grays) to fix another bad idea (inline video in comments) is itself a very bad idea. But nobody will see this because I’m still a gray.

Yup. Seems we can’t just click “Rick & Morty” and see all the articles about it, including all the episodes listed chronologically with the grade. This will make binging on old shows much less fun.

The layout (and complete lack of navigation to features) made me realize Univision wants this site to be their new Gawker. Lots of celebrity gossip with short shelf lifes for clicks. Not so much on the stuff that actually brought AV Club its audience.

Disqus actually supports that, but AVC had it disabled. Probably because it’s a super bad idea. Look forward to the right-wing trolls posting pictures of people who have been shot in the face!

There should be some sort of, I dunno, user testing before a big change like this? Web design 101? But what do I know, I’m just a web content strategist who does this sort of thing for a living, and then spends my free time commenting with an erect Florida avatar.

It also doesn’t look like you can browse by content series (World of Flops, Top Ten, History of Violence) or just go through a TV series’ reviews anymore.

There’s only 88 posts at the time of posting this and two things pop out immediately

Kinja is pretty garbage and I can’t believe that townhall newspeak about how its better for us (though all townhalls are by their nature politicized garbage).

Not editing comments is a feature. Not being able to browse through comments in chronological order is a feature. Not being able to nest comments is a feature. Not being able to load more than like five comments at once is a feature. A ton of empty white space so that you can only see at max four comments at a time is

It’s nesting for me.
