"Evolution" - So you call creating a blatant copy of Twitter to replace a useful forum ( *cough* Discussions) evolution?

This whole thing sounds like an excuse for you people to shove your Buzzfeed-inspired mess down our throats, really. It's not going to change how we feel or how terrible the product is. I could tolerate the "news and stories" bogus, as it did not directly influence anything and it could just be ignored like you could ignore an ad, but Discussions essentially kills everything I, and many like me, use this site for.

Is it really evolution to copy other media platforms?
