I found the images distracting, and in particular the tweet-sized chunks of text separated by picture or two made the text hard to follow.

So I think it's a legitimate criticism as this is a site for technical folks. Sure, not the topic of the post being commented on, but a good example to discuss.

I find it useful. I'm on a pretty limited mobile data plan. Imagine others might be too. Though I wish there was a way my browser could warn me.

Please let Dang do the moderating. I think he gets paid by the flag.

Thanks for the reminder, but anyone visiting this site on a restricted data plan may be in for a surprise. Websites that download a quarter gigabyte of data without warning is more than an annoyance.

How do you suggest I warn others to avoid this site? I don't think it's suitable for HN in its current state.

This is not a tangential annoyance, it’s akin to a NSFW warning.

It's not a complaint, it's a safety warning.
