The sponsored content and ads are getting out of control
I've been reading engadget for more than 10 years now, I love it! I have always liked the varierty of quality, unique and interesting articles, videos and more.
But the ads and sponsored **** seems to have been ramped up recently and it really takes away from the user experience. It's become like scrolling through Facebook. It seems every 3rd article is an ad. I get that's where the money is, but it seems like you're just milking it too much. It fustrating and makes me want to go elsewhere for similar news. I know i'm just one person, so…

Engadget needs a physical address on its Home. That transparent video stage looks like Idaho
Sonos great interview

Better Sponsored Content
You should find more relevant sponsored content partners. The ads on your site frequently have nothing to do offer the websites intended audience... they are clickbait.

Let me help fix your typos
A wonderful article I read actually called it Covid-10... it's been shared over 1500 times with that awful typo. I'd be more than happy to proofread!

Make it easy to distinguish between articles and ads on your Web site. You are as bad as the Yahoo Tech News site in that regard.

So many ads. Wow! I also needed a calculator.
So many ads. Wow! So many ads that I don't know what is news or not. Maybe one per page, but phew. See ya later. My idea is to go somewhere else till you figure out how many ads are too many ads

Get rid of the autoplaying videos ASAP.
I was looking up iPad mini reviews. I found what looked like a good review on your site, but within seconds of the page loading, it started playing a video. I left, and I won't be back.
I don't understand why you have them. People hate these things, without exception. They're obnoxious. They can be embarrassing if you're in a room with other people. They're a really disrespectful thing to have on your site. Please get rid of these things.

Go back to separate pages rather than one long feed
Having one long feed is a pain when you click on an article and then go back - it takes you back to the top of the feed and you have to scroll and click to get back to where you were. Now I have to remember to right click, open in new tab, then close that tab when I'm done. It was much easier with the separate pages as it was before.

Social Justice Idea
I'm so sick of people whining and sniveling about 300 year old statues and inclusive emojis. How about you cover how Silicon Valley won't hire black Americans instead? I work in IT and have only had one black coworker ever. Most are Indian.

You could implement a feature with which international users could translate times (1pm et) into their local time. That would be awesome

Content correction for Jon Fingas
This is likely the wrong place to post this, but it was the only way I could find.
I enjoyed the article about the quantum Internet, but in the second paragraph, you probably need "photons" rather than "photos". Thanks.

Dark mode
Dark mode at top of home page. 2020 and still no website dark mode!? As a tech review site surely you’ve heard of this style favoured by most users these days! Save our eyes!

Social Media buttons at bottom of mobile pages too easy to select.
The buttons stuck to the bottom of mobile webpages will trigger even if your finger starts on it but swipes up. This causes those sites to repeatedly load and interrupt the content on your site. Please remove them completely, or at the very least fix their behavior to avoid accidental touches from opening the sites.

This Company Does NOT Like Changes being Made
I just signed up on this here engadg thinggy. After I signed into this here Web thingy, I went to my account settings then I went to my profile, there is no way to change display name which is so ******* stupid especially since the ******* failed to provide an option at signing up. Bottom line, give as the option to make up our own display name.
