Everything's now pushed together, leaving a ton of space on the sides, and the search bar has been shifted.

Looks like they replicated the look of the mobile site into the Desktop site.

Yeah, I just saw. It looks awful on desktop.

Weirdly, going to an article by searching for it looks normal

That's exactly what I thought of. While I don't mind said look on a mobile, it's not really good on desktop, and it's now a lot less easy to read and navigate.

It feels like Internet websites are the only thing that constantly practice "fix what ain't broken" approaches and always to worse outcomes.

It's not awful, but there's definitely too much white space.

its not that bad really. the main issue is way too much space is used for the contents on the left. It could easily be half the size. Other than that its pretty much the same?

I dunno why people complain about white space. That might have mattered back in the day when a webpage could take 30 seconds to load and articles would be split into multiple pages but now things load almost instantly and you just have to scroll down more. Moving your eyes back and forth across a whole screen just puts more strain on them instead of reading a narrow article and scrolling at the same time.

the benefit is not having to read across a whole 20+ inch screen

and even if you dont care about that, why does the wasted space even matter?
