Beforeitsnews.com Categories Display and Recent Change

(Before It's News)

Dear Editor,

 

I love the site beforeitsnews.com, but I think that the recent change which hides the stories from all of the other categories was a change for the worse, not the better.

Time will tell, but I think that the main reason that people loved to contribute to the different categories was the exposure and the great content that was being revealed because of the 1st amendment and the freedom of the press granted to all of the writers who contribute the stories. Google even loves to index the stories, which is great for your site and many other struggling web developers and bloggers.

The categories are still taking the same time to load, so hiding the first 5 news items from each category does not make the site load any faster. It is simply hiding stories that people would otherwise see and view.  I do see that some categories are now hand-picked to display the Premium stories, but some of these categories dont even have as many stories as some of the other more popular categories.

This is censorship, in my opinion because it hides the many great stories from all the other great categories. It was the lack of censorship that has made this site so great– people love freedom!  People will not go through each category to view each set of stories. People may also stop contributing as well.

 

Please carefully analyze and review the reasons that the site was change and the consequences, thanks.

  • Thanks for sending this. As a frequent reader I found the change quite irritating myself.

  • I hate what has happened to this site! It takes forever for a story to load and the pop ups are killing me. If I set my pop up block to the max then I can’t get the link to a story. It is so frustrating that I have been avoiding this site for while now. I hope they can make some adjustments so we can navigate it easier!!!

    Editor………WAKE UP!!!!!

  • Not having any problems here :) thanks for getting the site back to it’s original format guys!

  • There are too many categories, which confuses me a lot.

  • speaking of categories can you give SCOTT C WARING A CATE GORY of his own called repeated stories or BS just something to separate his stories from the rest so I don’t wast my time?

  • cont..oh! that was harsh or so all his fans can find him quicker.
