AOL News - New (terrible) format
Your not giving the full title of an article, just a partial title followed by.......in your new format for AOL News, is a terrible idea. I will not open any article that does not clearly state what the content is. This is bad for AOL and your advertisers a well.

AOL hopelessly radical left leaning...
After being a subscriber for over 25 years, I must say I am utterly disappointed that AOL has become so LIBERAL...it is one thing to lean left, but to provide statistics based on their opinion is not worthy of them. I only wish they would get back to reporting facts and at least, try to stay neutral politically....half the country is conservative, some how they cannot accept that FACT!!

Don't expect anybody to read your news stories since you began truncating the headlines. Now no reason to click.
Go back to the old style. Make the headlines complete sentences so readers know what the story is about. I'm not going to waste my time clicking on stories now that you've truncated the headlines.

Newsfeed photos
Please go back to the photo style as in the past. These enlarged photos are not something that works. They do nothing for me. The earlier version at least gives some additional views the related topics. If I want large photos I will increase the size myself. Whomever came up with the idea of increasing the size probably never gave it much thought in relation to the news stories. Bring back the previous version!

"Comments" section on AOL posted news articles
After reading an article accessed by clicking on the "Welcome" tab on AOL Gold Desktop, there is a "Comments" tab which gives you access to comments other people have made and you can make comments yourself. Occasionally, the user may make a comment that might be prohibited e.g. the use of a profanity word e.g. a comment like "That was a **** of a stupid thing to do"
So, a message will pop up that tells you that your comment is under review. That usually means your comment has been flagged by whatever algorithm AOL uses for such things. However,… -
Improve you news & update it
Your news articles/reviews seem to run for ever & many are pure garage. The interview on "best before dates" has run its course weeks age , take it off & not interesting in the least. Why not try & improving AOL's name by posting better articles/reviews, your news is boring. It makes me want to get rid of my AOL acct.

Fact check stories for new information, rather than repeat the original narrative.
AOL sometimes runs a story, based on media narrative, but leaves out facts learned after the event, which show the story was fabricated. ...then continue to running the story but discontinue comments. ...case in point, the article on George Floyd's actual cause of death is not given, while promoting the police brutality narrative. Not only was the cause of his death by police in question, but unfair to police rank and file, by lowering morale, making recruitment more difficult and emboldening criminals.....is this a direction we want to go?

Here is a suggestion, ANSWER ME!!!
I seem to have been locked out of making comments. I received no warning as to this and NO comment AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL BE. I have tried MANY times to get an answer about this to no avail!
I know you will scream about violating community standards, NO! I know the event that brought it on. I had made a comment that was censored for violating COMMUNITY STANDARDS. I SAW NOTHING THAT WOULD VIOLATE ANY COMMUNITY STANDARDS! I was angered and copied the post and reposted it after removing a sentience which was of course blocked. I…

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF aol TAKING A VERY INTERESTING NEWS ARTICLE WHICH COULD BE COVERED IN A COUPLE PARAGRAPHS AND CONVERTING IT INTO A SHORT NOVEL WHICH REPEATS ITSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN. STICK TO THE BASIC INFORMATION AND STOP THE REPETITION OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

A gigantic improvement ....
Stop spending your time writing negative stories....we are tired of hearing about police beating up minorities for apparently no reason....how about some positive stories about law enforcement.....the police are having enough difficulty hiring replacements, as many take early retirement and resign.... eventually the quality of police will tank....does anyone want to see that?

Article Comment Section
In the article comment section, you used to be able to post a comment, then you could go back to an article and see if you've had a response to your comment by seeing if there's an indication by the bell.
Well now, when you go to the comment section, you can only see the TOP THREE comments. There's a "link" to view all of the comments. However, when you click it, it takes you to a pop-up screen. This pop-up screen has the same link to..view all comments. However, THIS link NEVER WORKS!!
So how are you supposed to…
