So first thing I notice was the top 1/3rd of the page being a blank space.
Then I remembered I had an adblocker.
That said, I rarely ever visit the website, but it looks like every generic blog/news theme format I've seen in the past 10 years or so lol. Never change a winning team, but it's nothing to write home about to be honest.
What?! They have very unique squiggles and bright colors! No one else is doing that.
I really don’t get the logic of redesigns like this or The Verge. Was the design team just told, “traffic is down make it look new so we can post a blog about it”?
It looks indistinguishable from every other tech site.
Oh great, it's not like the Kotaku redesign ages ago?
That shit was a mess. They went from a gaming news site to a blog about whatever SEO shit they could crap out.
Huh, so now it’s the verge, but less unique and creative. Not to disparage anyone doing redesigns, it’s a valiant effort.
i don’t get it, it looks as generic as every other blog i’ve been to in a while. not that that’s a bad thing, i guess
It's weird how little identity this has now, visually. The previous design was quite striking, now it looks easily confused for something else.
Maybe this works better with screen readers though since it's just black text on white background in simple text blocks.
they’re owned by some company that owns a bunch of blogs, right? maybe this is testing a new look for all of them
