Comment summary in star notifications are now gone, now forcing to go to the said comment to see what was starred.

Probably they are desperate to show you their whitelist begging box, or Gizmodo Media seems very adamant with destroying the comments ecosystem.

The first line summary/title vs. “your reply” has been coming and going for well over a week. I’ve had it be different different times in the same day - though that may have been a different browsers thing.

Using that word in that manner is not okay.

I wouldn’t mind it so much if Kinja still used part of the comment as the permalink address. I used to be able to hover over the link and my browser would let me know which comment that was.

Kinja in general is perpetually sucky.

Yeah, it’s a meme from the movie, but that doesn’t make using the word ok.

But if they don’t force you to open a new link you won’t be presented with a new crop of revenue generating ads once they start making the site inaccessible to those using Adblock.

TL;DR:

-Inaccessible with adblock

-Unusable without adblock
