i have tried to get used to it, but I hate the new scroll.

I miss being able to actually scroll down. Now I read half as many articles because the initial title (instead of the first paragraph) doesn’t seem worth the click to just have to click back to find another article.

looks nice, but can we go back to having all the buttons go to the same big long blog page?
