Nicolas Cage reveals gender of baby he is expecting...
This headline is incorrect It is impossible to know someones gender before they are born. 'Gender' is socially constructed. Gender is an identity we are assigned or assume usually in response to the appearance of our genetalia and the way in which we are socially conditioned as male humans to behave a as MEN or female humans as WOMEN.
This baby does not have a known gender. She has a known biological SEX. Her SEX is FEMALE. She will in all likleyhood assume the gender Woman but who knows.

Deal with the time lag between images and text in the headlines
When scrolling through the headlines the images appear straightaway but the text associated with the image can take up to 15 seconds to display; the text from the previous image remaining visible for the whole of that time. In the past the reverse problem sometimes occurred and it took some time for the images to display which is more understandable. The images and associated text need to be locked together.

Article titles
You are a professional organisation that posts articles from different sources. Please stop post misleading titles I.e. "Royal couple ended my relationship", https://www.aol.co.uk/entertainment/2019/11/13/fearne-cotton-knew-first-engagement-was-over-after-seeing-prince/
To anyone seeing the title, you would instantly take the title literally.
Please use more appropriate article titles, this is becoming quite ridiculous and makes you also look silly, I can hardly take any of your news seriously anymore.58th ranked -

Editorial Curation - Non-news
Can you please explain what has happened to AOL’s editorial content and news curation this week?
The leading stories now appear increasingly disconnected from what could reasonably be described as important or relevant news. Many are banal, misleadingly presented and heavily sensationalised, using phrases such as “devastating news” to entice readers into articles whose actual content bears little relation to the headline.
One recent example was a headline about the death of someone connected with MasterChef. Concerned, I opened it, only to discover that the story apparently related to the Turkish edition of the programme. While any death is regrettable,…

Stop using AI to police the comment section on your news feed. It does nothing to improve or contribute to any discourse. We are all adults
Get rid of your AI censorship or at the very least get someone who lives in the real world who has an education because this present system was obviously written by an American Christian fundamentalist who was home schooled by their parents who never got past 3rd grade.
We are all adults so are well used to using the odd expletive, your trigger warning culture is not welcome & never will be. You continually reject my comments if I am the least bit critical about the topic & I'll be damned if you don't block my posts if I dare…67th ranked -
why are we not seeing leading news story's on AOL , like the one where the labour mp resigns over disability payments
Why does AOL not show leading news story's like the Labour mp who has just resigned over the Disability payments , Is AOL being told not to show the news Article by the UK Government to stop British citizen's from commenting , Is it government censorship ??????????

You can improve AOL by figuring out why the Comments in AOL switches me over to the U. K. version.
I am unable to read comments on my posts or respond to them when AOL switches me over to the U. K. version.

Stop preventing us reading news items which you place on view for us to read.
When I clicked on the report about the objections raised concerning the opening Olympic ceremony's offencive remarks/presentation about the Last Supper I was redirected to anything but that article.

You should include reports from independent social media platforms. You use lying MSM too much
Approach The Duran for reports on Ukraine. Far more accurate than the lying media you use. Matthew Goodwin is a good input for politics. Using MSM is lazy reporting. They seem to lack real journalists. Patrick Moore will put you straight on Climate Change. I find your current format very irritating to listen to because it presents some very ignorant people as being the voices of authority.

Ref. Feed back about the new AOL mail format;
Having used aol mail for over 25 years, now with the new mail format both my wife and I are finding the new version very inferior to the previous layout with regard to the following points;
The previous layout provided very simple tools with regard to font size, colour, and position of the text, it was great like using a simplified version of Microsoft Word.
It also, provided ability to customise the e-mail as a ‘Greeting Card’ for different occasions with great and lovely selections of lay-outs.Sending, replying and deleting…

Block obvious SPAM emails completely rather than sending to SPAM folder
Hundreds of emails go to my SPAM folder each day. Although it is good that they are identified as SPAM, I still need to review the SPAM folder to check for non-SPAM mails. Surely you can block completely these obvious SPAM emails that often use the same or similar domains?

Allow me to organise my mail folders the way I want
the reason I don't use the AOL app to manage my e mail is because it doesn't allow me to organise my mail folders within other mail folders, eg mail from individuals belonging to one organisation all stored within a single folder named for that organisation, in subfolders named for each individual. Outlook on my PC lets me use my AOL mail this way, as does my android phone, my iphone, my macbook pro.... Whilst the AOL App just lists all the names alphabetically. And now you are going to make it more difficult if not impossible for me to…
