...a nd then they’ll shut it down because they don’t care

Or, heres a suggestion: you could just email them saying that it’s shitty

I’ve seen many big user-facing changes in software & websites like this. I’ve been on the other side of a few of them. People always complain. In general, people will complain whenever anything changes. Complaining isn’t going to change anything. As an advertising-driven media company, the only thing that will  change their minds is seeing their engagement metrics go down, which means less money.

But if there’s less money who’s to say they won’t just say “eh, fuck it” and close it down? Aren’t we owned by some group  that basically operates like that? I forget what group it was specifically, someone posted about it a while back

I think they’d revert the layout change, which is easy to do , before they’d shut the whole thing down and lose  all the moneys.

Well I'd hope so, the new owner is a private equity firm so that's why I'd say what I said earlier, but yeah I'd hope it's what you said

They really are the worst.

This format hinders engagement. I’m not sure what problem they think they’re fixing, but it blows.

My clicks are going to dwindle to roughly zero right about - now
