Off-topic: I'm surely not alone in utterly despising this kind of website design?
On-topic: If we think the immigration crisis is 'bad' now... It's like comparing a dispute over garden fences to WWII.

- blowski 9y agoI love to see experimentation with different layouts. I most definitely wouldn't want to pay my energy bills on such a site. But this kind of content is like a coffee-table magazine, where such variety encourages you to think about the content differently. For me personally, the trend towards all websites looking like Medium or Google material design is much worse.
- prawn 9y agoI suspect presenting content in bite-sized chunks can help people focus rather than skim. I think Medium layouts are a great way to get people reading just the content without sidebar ads and interjections to read a related article - that stuff wrecks so many news websites.
- bradleyankrom 9y agoThis design isn't one of their best, but I generally enjoy the different things the NYT does in that area. Some of their JS folks present at meetups across NYC, highly recommend checking those out if you're in the area.
- rorykoehler 9y agoIt's web design for story telling. I quite like the format for certain types of content.
