dear ‘you guys fucked up’ – stop coming back and commenting on a site you don’t like… i’m sure thefader will survive without you or your anonymous hate commenting (aka the lowest form of the internet foodchain)

Maybe you guys could add more high memory flash and ads in between pages and more of those smiley face ads and fake “congratulations you just won 2 Ipod ads”

Yeah I could use the RSS feed, but that’s not the same as scrolling through, so it’s not a viable alternative. Great job making your site suck more, not less. Off to Pitchfork. They actually made their site better of all things.

Hey guys. I like this but it’s becoming more ordinary, kinda like everything else out there. The reason I love you guys is because you just feel authentic. From magazine photography (the most amazing photo-journalism I have ever seen) to your website that was different and looked intentionally unfinished…kinda like an F-U we are about the content not the look…now it’s like cosmo…I am going to give it a chance…I still love you…and let’s keep print alive people!!!!

Hey, what’s up with the RSS feed for the music blog? It only updates some of the posts. Am I missing something here?

It might maximize your page views, but not I find less of a reason to come here. And most likely will stop. Thanks for making your site worse and less user friendly.

Hey, Fader guys. I have the music blog in my RSS reader (Google Reader). Seems like it doesn’t validate very well. Try to enter this url (http://www.thefader.com/category/music/) into the Feed validator.

sorry if this is redundant for some, but the new site is the same, content-wise, just a more organized and sectional layout. if you like to just filter it all yourself, which is TOTALLY cool, just view the site via any RSS reader and you won’t miss a beat. thanks for the comments, keep them coming!!

Yes, I’m sorry but I love FADER and will always be loyal to it, but the new site is a bit wack. It probably just hasn’t had time to grow on me yet. And I don’t want to direspect all the hard work that was put into it. I sort of liked the raw unfilterd version more…eeee. I also understand that you guys are running a business and have probably been getting more traffic on the site. on that note, good job of “keeping it real” and advancing your business interests simultaneously

Because you now have to go between several pages to access the same amount of content you used to be able to get on one main page, the new site maximizes page views for FADER. It means they make more money, because internet advertising is an imprecise science that’s predicated on page views. They’ve also made comments a bigger part of the experience; I’ve never commented on a FADER post before, but it was right…here…Anyway. I really liked the everything at once thing, for the same reasons the first guy said, but from FADER’s perspective, this really is the smart way to run the site. One thing I like about FADER is their smartness regarding their site, constantly coming with cool new innovations, so I’m going to take this change to mean they’re still bringing they’re their A-egame. The site has always been dope, the site should continue to be dope.

I agree. Give us the control to filter what we want. I LOVED seeing everything. Give us control!

i try to be open to things, but viewing everything was the shit cause i tend to be choosey.

me one, me two and me three, my suggestion would be to view site via RSS that way you’ll just get your ‘everything’ blog…

We should have an EVERYTHING category

i just wish it were still possible to scroll through every section at once like how it used to be. categorizing everything individually does make a lot of sense, but i don’t really want to click on each section to see everything, i would rather be able to scroll through it all at once. kind of sucked the convenience out of it, and the surprise of coming across stuff i might not necessarily have taken the time to check out before and being pleasantly surprised.
