There was some decent HPL content, but even then, the presentation was annoying. It actually made me visit HuffPo less often, because I didn't like clicking things that would inadvertently launch a HPL page.

Sort of the way Ariana has always done things on that site, which has become so damned bloated it will barely load with even the best internet connection/speed.

Yes, too bad about AJ. The odds were so stacked against them, given the denial of access to most consumers.
