The Verge (unintentionally) destroys AT front page

[s44]

This may be sorta OT here, but am I the only one looking at the clutter and excess of white on the new AnandTech design and blaming Topolsky et al.? What an awful trend. "Up to date" shouldn't = "unreadable".

the verge website is still 1000X shittier then pretty much any tech site on the web

Yeah, but they're slowly inspiring everyone else to catch up on shittiness.

At least AT still loads well. And some of the new functionality is nice (comment permalinks!). But ugh...

Not sure what the problem is. I think the new Anandtech.com and The Verge both look fine to me.

The Verge looks good on my Galaxy S3 but is way too scattered on my PC. Mobile version is just a column style so it's easy to go through headlines quick. On the PC, its hard to follow the flow of the main page, so I rarely look at it except on my phone.

AnandTech looks "a lot" like the Verge site with the new upgrade, I would agree. Not as scattered but leaning that way.

Same here, I use the mobile or app version. Hate the full website.

Dunno like the Youtube pointless reskins it strikes me as some web designer out there trying to justify their paycheck.

I think The Verge looks nice. New AT looks like crap.

As much as looks matter, what really matters for sites is contents. Ugly sites will get visitors as long as quality contents exist. The most gorgeous site will not survive if there is nothing to read/listen/watch/contribute. I won't say much further than that I rarely read AT articles except for things that occasionally get attention from the forums.
