I stumbled onto the new design about a month ago. I had mixed reactions to it, one side of which was like yours: "Oh no, they're going to ruin it."

The Internet Archive is so priceless, so special, and so impossibly good, that I have to trust the people who make it. As long as they are "focused on how the site looks," there is nothing they could do to ruin it. Yes, the changes are pointless for someone who was already happy with it. But if they are able to bring more attention and support this way, then more power to them. Their #1 job is to keep it alive, and I'm sure this is motivated with that in mind. And after all, they have an API. [0] https://archive.org/stream/playseditedannot03shakuoft#page/176/mode/2up https://archive.org/stream/playseditedannot03shakuoft#page/1...
