I just opened the 9to5Mac redesign and its abhorrent. Its using spacing and clumps of articles not dissimilar to The Verge (minus the awful blog post stream) and everything is so hard to find and skim. Hate it. The Verge was a dumpster fire not getting any better and should not be a template for others.
Got a tip for us?

The Verge Redesign Shouldn't Be a Template for Others (looking at you 9to5Mac)

The Verge redesigned their website many months ago The discussion thread is here: The Verge Redesign
I know that. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was complaining that 9to5Mac redesigned their site and committed many of the same poor design decisions The Verge did.
I'm a Full Stack Web Dev. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I can see why certain design decisions were made, but there are other ways to achieve the same thing.
I think the 9to5Mac redesign looks much better than The Verge; for one thing, there's no repeating articles. It seems like the Verge wants you to read the top five articles and they scatter them all over the place so you will read them.
Went to 9to5Mac to check out the hubbub and was reminded why I removed it from my RSS feed.
The site redirects to a real estate investment company if the warning is disregarded.
"Granite Capital Group"
Just checked, and the site redirects properly again. Does make you wonder why that investment company was shown instead.
