At a time when the news is getting more and more depressing to read, one news outlet has done something drastic in recent months to reduce that pesky doomscrolling.
This as the ABC has seemingly decided to stick with their recent redesign of their news site that many have described as ‘awful to look at’ and ‘even more awful to navigate’.
“At first I was using the app less cause ABC News isn’t as good as it used to be,” said Mark who used to check the news multiple times a day, “but my usage has gone way down because it’s so ugly and ABC and it’s almost impossible to find the stories that matter. It’s doing wonders for my mental health.”
A representative for ABC News said they are excited to further their new approach of making the website completely avoidable, by leaning even heavier into their rebrand into just another generic tabloid.
