I really like Ta-Nehisi Coates and James Fallows, but it’s their writing that draws me in – not their headlines or post titles. I might not even plan to stop and read, but (with the old format) invariably something will catch my eye and I’ll have to finish reading the entire article, and sometimes most of the comments. It is less likely I’ll read so many of the articles now that I have to click through to every post.

It’s annoying. They should just let blogs be blogs, sigh.
