I thought it was being dumbed-down because people want to look at pictures rather than read. Should'a known it was all about the $ (and pleasing the snowflakes).

more “brand safe” content to advertisers

Any "hard" news is so politically charged and crisis-mongering anymore that I think people are being turned off. Even if you agree with the politics, news is just throwing red meat into the water. Hopefully people are getting exhausted by perpetual outrage and perpetual crisis. In that way, moving to soft news items makes sense.

It looks like the USA Today/Weekly Reader.

I just don't go there anymore - it's infuriating.

I thought the web site was broken. Now that I know is isn’t, I’m no longer visiting the site.

No. We want news. Not propaganda.

Trying to dilute their news, destroy the new focus. Great move. /s
