Does anyone else think the main Jalopnik page is a mess?

Been away today so not seen Oppo (and may have missed complaints from the regulars already aired) but I was surprised to open Jalopnik - to find it was such a mess!

Too many posts vying for attention on screen. I've been happy with all recent changes but this seems to want to put too much in one place.

Agree. It feels really cluttered and busy to me. I'm sure they'll continue to refine?

All the nice white space left in a cloud of recommended stories and ads.

One hot mess. The layout of late was useable, easy on the eyes....the first new layout in the past several tries that I really liked. The new one, no. It's a wreck.

I had forgotten what it looks like. Been viewing it all day in Chrome with adblock at work. Makes it a bit easier to view since it takes away the banner, and the ads on the sides.

Would you call it the Pontiac Aztec of layouts? It's ugly, barely functional and with bits you don't want or need. But, at the days end, you can make it work with enough NyQuil and strong drink.

I have been gone since last night, get back today and check the FP, "Da fuck is this?" I immediately left because I didn't know what was going on and change is scary

I assumed it was my outdated browser fucking up again when I looked at work.

Gawker seems to love wasting money on new idea layouts every 3 months. Maybe cool it down abit and let things settle? It's like corporations who think some stupid tests from "accredited" analyst or organization reflects the society today when in reality it's all outdated or stupid bullshit.

If they really wanna waste money, I have a few ideas....like just give me a blank check and I can pay off my debts and take a year long vacation to Thailand to have a sex weekend with random (legal age) prostitutes.

Of course, they could save money and maybe shutter Jezebel.....nobody goes to that site.

About Jezebel:

1. Fire all those weird chicks

2. Hire me. I'll work for cheap.

I swear I'll run it smoothly and not make any sexist jokes, ever.

I realized it right now. Though I like the new minimalism, the tags and authors are harder to read and everything looks all jumbled up.

Do you want to go with the bar, the liquid, or the foamy soap for this one?

it's actually pretty usable with adblock enabled.

I'm curious as to what it looks like without adblock though, but not curious enough to disable it.
