Huffington Post is nearly unreadable

[superpatriotman]

They revamped a couple weeks ago and the new format is horrible

Why, oh why do we insist on fixing things that ain't broke?

Nonetheless I will continue to post links from there as long as I can.

1. I quit going there all together...

barely went there before the format change, now I deleted all links and won't click on linked articles.

2. I agree with the OP assessment.

It was good. Is now bad.

3. i HATE the new Huffington Post and don't go there anymore. THE NEW FORMAT IS HORRIBLE.

HOW CAN WE LET HUFF know we hate it?

5. LTTE

Might work, but I wouldn't count on it. Only a loss of eyeballs and dropping revenues will speak clearly.

4. It's called "HuffPost" now

It's even worse than before and their new editor, Lydia Polgreen, has been the force behind its changes. In her letter to the readers, she wrote, "What would it mean to create a news organization that saw itself not as writing about people who feel left out of the political, economic and social power arrangements, but for them?" As journalism, what the hell does that mean? Present the news and don't write it for a specific point of view. The latter is called editorializing or commentary.

Far too many of HuffPost's stories are links to other websites and don't represent their own reporting. Additionally, there are so many links to click-bait sites that it's a hodgepodge of crap.

Plus, their hosting software is terrible. The pages are constantly shifting to display various ads or graphics and it's always clunky.

Originally, Arianna Huffington had a good idea and the site had potential. Now, it's just garbage.

6. Agree

I would like a simple centrist news/entertainment site, but it has turned into something else.

Maybe I'm not in their demo anymore.

8. Demographics

Yeah, I'm getting to the point where I don't fit any "marketable" demographic!

9. Huff Huff Pass

11. Stinker! (n/t)

[smirkymonkey]

7. I agree. It's horrible.

They need to change it back or come up w/ something new.

10. This might be okay for 45, but I prefer a text version. n/t

12. Huff Po

I stopped reading Huff Po a long time ago except for the occasional peek. I agree though the new format is not very good which I noticed the other day. Perhaps if they get enough complaints they will alter it.

13. I hate the new format too

[Vinca]

14. I agree. It's terrible.

15. I've blocked them in the past, just to save me the irritation of accidentally clicking on them.

I've finally succumbed to uBlock Origin because my whitelist/blacklist/javascript filters were becoming unwieldy.

I don't block advertising on sites I regularly visit, but Huffington Post isn't one of those.

16. My 2 cents

Appalling overhaul. Lousy logo redesign.

[CanonRay]

17. I noticed it really sucks

Quite an "improvement"

[Stuart G]

18. I agree...I wrote the new editor an email

saying that I was leaving because of the format that she has initiated. It is awful.

19. Just checked it out - photo and celebrity

heavy, some true crime stuff, about 50% trump-related. Basically, it's a miniature version of the internet.

I guess if they changed the format, it's because they thought it would bring in more views / clicks and ultimately more $$$$.
