It takes me about one minute to get an overview of opinion pieces on that new page and to find out whether I want to read anything. During that one minute I will scroll all the way down. I don’t even have to think about it. This is one of the New York Times’ more rigid layouts which means that I can actually systematically read the headline of every single piece on that page without getting lost. Cluttered is the last thing I would call it. Sure, they could display less. Ten rows, two columns – that sounds to me like they picked a nice round number without much thought. Five would do but in this day and age scrolling is easy. (This guy also seems to have a screen with a low resolution. I have only 900 vertical pixels and I have to press page down three times.)
