I read the same thing like damn she fucked up but that’s kind of harsh?

Waiting on the FS mile high club sim article. You know you want the clicks...

A typical tonsillith is about the size of a popcorn kernel

God I hate these, but it’s been a long time since an article made me feel so normal, I tried explaining these to friends and family when I was younger and no one knew what I was talking about. 

I think it’s kind of interesting to note that even though they were kind of opposites in their view of humanity’s future (although both were not optimistic) it turns out that they were both correct. It wasn’t a mutually exclusive choice. If you can’t see the Orwell in Federal agents grabbing people off the streets…

“Sir, the commenters are revolting! There isn’t a SINGLE person that likes the updated layout!”

“Perfect! Let’s get started rolling this out to all the other sister sites.”

I feel like there’s an ongoing competition to make the desktop version more unusable than the mobile version, and then the mobile version more unusable than the desktop version to make up, and so on.

I think they are trying to copy Wired’s layout, which is horrendous to begin with. Stuff is all over the place, it makes it near impossible to just go and find new articles.

Exactly. I assume it is a push from the top. This format allows Spanfeller to slip ads in between legit content, and collect clicks and $$.

It’s only awful if you don’t like things that are bad in every way

I did the same here! Thanks for polygontaku but no

It's a blog. The vast majority of people want it in chronological order, everything else is in the way. And it actually matters, because the autoplaying, centered, scrolling video that pops up in front of the articles on mobile... Make mobile completely unusable. 

hard agree. It’s difficult to even look at

I knew this day was coming, when it happened to Gizmodo.  Sad to see the backlash there didn’t make anyone pause to rethink the layout before moving it to more sites.

Whomever ok’d the new design really should rethink things. Good lord that’s a massive fustercluck.

It’s fucking awful!! but thank god for that latest tab!

If suddenly being exposed to new viewpoints causes your kid’s worldview to pull a bootlegger’s reverse, you were controlling the viewpoints they were exposed to in the first place. This is a very common thing to happen in conservative households once the kids go to college.

I wonder if this is one of those things that comes down from a high level creative and some people along the way look at it and grimace but ultimately don’t speak up because they’re not in any position to or maybe they hope someone else will.

First, they came for the people who misuse ‘First they came...’ by Martin Niemoller, and I did not speak out because I was not a person who misused ‘First they came...’ by Martin Niemoller.

Yeah. Pulling a gun has never de-escalated a situation. Ever. You pull a gun to escalate a situation to a conclusion as fast as possible. Usually with little regard or understanding of what that conclusion might be. Pulling a gun is how you say “we are done talking about this, one way or another.”
