Court House - The new version of the online Spout Off requires you to click each and every individual spout to read it, then click back to continue down the page. This drives up ad revenue for the Herald by increasing pageviews, but will ultimately drive away viewers who are annoyed and frustrated. It seems the Herald wants us to all go back to picking up paper copies and ignoring the website.
Moderator's Note:
While advertising revenue is required to make Spout Off, and the rest of our free content, a reality, the reader experience is always a priority. We are excited to see the new features already resulting in an increase in engagement via the new commenting platform as well as photo and video submissions. We will continue to work to improve the Spout Off website, and your feedback is appreciated.
