Not many noticing that this redesign removed Events functionality and Google confirmed they have NO plans to reintroduce it. And is playing with addictive while not needed 'content discovery'.
In summary:
* yet another redesign
* mobile centric (looks like p on desktop)
* removes important features (events, hangouts tight integration)
* forces users into addictive content-discovery
* works only now, the moment masses join it, lolcats will ruin it
Sorry, content discovery has NO value for humans at the level we have it currently. Content is everywhere. It's easy to find valuable content. Whole this content discovery concept is riding on the addictive behaviour of humans: I'm losing everything I dont know about, so I need to scroll newstream every 5 minutes. While it serves one purpose: page impressions stimulated by habbit/addiction.
It harms us. We don't need content discovery. Corpos need our eyeballs.
