I hear you, dude, but the old style was really limiting. This way we can write a real post with a little depth and context, and we don’t have to clutter the front page with too much text.

Sometimes I try to get stuff just on the front page, but it doesn’t always work out. but tabbed browsing is your friend…

Ok but what does it matter? Honestly, even if there is some crazy conspiracy theory about CrunchGear cheating their users by forcing them to click the second page does it matter? This is a good website with good news and if you spend the extra minute loading a new page and reading the article so what? keeps you busy right? :)

Let’s talk about this recent habit I’ve noticed on CG of burying the lede in an apparent attempt to get users to click through to the second page (”look John, we’ll DOUBLE our ad revenue!”).

It’s annoying. And it’s very 1999. And it’s what’ll stop CG from getting a Webby if it continues.

If you’ve got something to say, say it above the fold. Give readers the essential information up front, and let them decide if they want more detail. If you want users to click through to the second page, give them a compelling reason to do so by telling them what they’re going to be reading that is important. “interesting stuff” and “mysterious” do not satisfy that last requirement.
