| One of the very few politics sites on the internet that is truly unbiased and is not pushing neither a right or a left-wing agenda.
It is a fantastic compendium, compiled twice daily - once in the morning and once in the afternoon - of all the news that is worth reading - in a readily accessible, minimal, link-based form.
If you are at all interested in world events and politics news, this should be your landing page for news in the morning.

| Born as a clickbait, arbitrage website completely devoid of any substance or content - it somehow took that concept and made it worse.
Buzzfeed is known as the laughingstock of the internet, for its truly vile cesspool of social justice warriors, for its overly dramatic authoritarians-in-denial, and for the website's absolute refusal to be held accountable for what the site publishes.
The website hides sponsored articles in amongst regular "articles" which are typically lists or quizzes aimed at the lowest common denominator, and when it attempts to do more "serious journalism", the result is completely unabashed defense of the rabid, radical, extreme left and a total assault on free speech and conservative thought.
To say Buzzfeed has no credibility is to understate things greatly.

| A heavily biased so-called "news" resource - HuffPo is hypocritical in nearly every possible aspect. It preaches equality and diversity, and yet it's boardroom is nearly completely composed of white women. It claims to be strongly for diversity, and yet it practices no diversity of thought whatsoever.
The policing on the website is extreme. It does not only extend to the comments section which is to be expected, but it even removes any articles that somehow get through the censors that are not in line with their political agenda.
It is incredibly biased against conservative speech and thought, but that is not the main enemy of the site - nay, the main enemy of HuffPo is free thought, free speech, and people who dare think for themselves.

| Once one of my favorite sites to navigate, learn useless trivia, and waste hours on - Cracked has gradually descended into clickbait, heavy politicized liberal slam pieces, and generally has grown more and more akin to Buzzfeed in recent years.
The interesting thing is that although initially a counterculture media organization much like Vice, it like Vice itself has sold itself out to the highest bidder with heavily biased and/or uninformative and uninteresting listicles.
Cracked has truly become Buzzfeed 2.0. A shame.

| Nicely designed minimal interface with the product clearly showcased and with a very appealing and pleasing-to-the-eye button to "Start Now".
The navigation of the website is pleasant and smooth without a large memory footprint. Would however reconsider having footer navigation links popping up in new tabs.

| The website is quite pleasant to look at and is fun to navigate despite the rather slow loading time.
One thing that leaped out at me is the fact that the copyright date on the website is placed in 2023 - not even the near future. Could well be an intentional decision!
The popover by Social Intents is quite intrusive and does not fit well with the design of the webpage, would try to improve the design of it to make it appear more in line with the aesthetic of the main site.

| Strange decision to use Comic Sans as the font for the titles of the website headings.
I could not find a way to navigate away from the homepage to any deeper links with more information. One would expect that the left skyscraper section would be hotlinked to more examples.
Would also be nice to see some examples of completed work and a more personal approach to contact and more information about the company for prospective customers.

| Interesting idea and concept but the design of the website is a little cluttered.
The footer on the very bottom of the website on the other hand is quite sparse with no info on who the website owner is and just a blank copyright symbol.
In terms of general navigation, it is alright - but clearly designed for individual landing pages as opposed to domain-based navigation - comes across as search-optimized as opposed to user-friendly UX.

| A pretty busy homepage with a lot of content on it but with nicely designed top navigation. The footer is similarly well-designed and leads the user to not be overwhelmed despite the great amount of content present on the site.
I would consider reducing the amount of options on the homepage, and perhaps replacing it with more information about the service itself rather than a simple list of all videos on the page.
Overall, however, the design is clean and functional and is generally good - and can be made great - by making the user experience somewhat less overwhelming.
