The search results where garbage if you didn't know that you had to click "SE" to sort by number of seeders.

- sysk 12y agoYes, among other things: - You often had to scan through the comments for a clickable IMDB link. - Movie meta data was manually entered by uploaders who didn't really bother with it most of the time. - Titles contained a bunch of metadata which shouldn't have been part of the title (e.g. encoding, source, quality, uploader name, etc.). - There was sometimes an extra comment page that was empty. - No moderation whatsoever in the comments. Impossible to find the interesting/useful comments without reading all of them one by one. - A bunch of annoying ads (one of the download buttons was an ad if I recall correctly). There's a recurring meme on HN that all UIs are automatically good if they are old/non-trendy.
- jimmaswell 12y agoThe only meme is that old UIs are the /bad/ ones. Those points are all very minor. A major problem would be having an inoperable half-assed mobile version that you were redirected to on mobile.
