Ratings and reviews

The news aside, the lack of dark mode when reading the comments in addition to the copious amount of ads every 3-4 short paragraphs that are videos/animations make the reading experience very impractical. Human eyes are drawn to movement, it makes it too distracting to focus on the article. I usually position the text/skip ads so I can focus on the articles. If I see someone advertising here, distracting the audience for profit I am 100% not going to buy their product/service.

Articles are good, but display is terrible. It doesn't adjust to screen size properly. They display as a little column of words down the middle, with both left and right margins far wider than the column of words. Such a waste of space, a the need to scroll continuously.

The journalism is exceptional. if only one did not have to listen to opinion pieces to be able to listen to fact based reporting. I like having the ability to listen to the first story snd continue on to other stories for which I'd rate a 5, but the editorials don't even deserve a 1. I wi1sh I could turn them off.
