As a big supporter and consumer of Aunty's content for over three decades now, I have to turn my back. The quality of the writing and the basic proofreading notwithstanding, the editorial choices are now such a turn off.
The click bait headings that all other news sources discarded back in 2015 are still being used, and the focus on individual, anecdata designed to either rage bait or pull at heartstrings is just plain condescending and manipulative.
I don't want to read 50 different articles about a single mum with 8 children and 4 more on the way who's struggling with childcare costs.
I don't want to read about a DINK couple who are struggling with repayments on their investment property.
There's real issues at the core of both of these that once would be explored with journalistic vigor, but these Women's Day style pieces are just infuriating crap.
Fuck the LNP for their years of cuts and fuck Ita Buttrose.
The Guardian mobile app is great.
