This does remind me of the Scrappy Mechanic page we once had for Youtube, which isn't a great sign. Plus it's looooooong. I think websites change too frequently for every single example to be listed.

Seems that TCINIS isn't No Real Life Examples, which is surprising.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

YouTube had its own TCINIS page for a long time (up until this year IIRC), which eventually had to be cut because it got out of hand.

I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

Looks like just a long (loooooong) page of complaining about shows— er, sites— people don't like.

Covered in Star Wars Cleanup, Deadpool, and Web Video sand. I'm not coarse and rough, but I get everywhere.

It also doesn't strike me as noteworthy. Any time a site changes, some people hate the change. Some changes are genuinely awful or otherwise attract more hate, but I seriously doubt there's ever been one where the entire userbase immediately and unambiguously embraced it.

Isn't They Changed It, Now It Sucks! about complaining in general? What's so bad about this page in particular?

^ Knee-jerk reactions any time something changes. Allowing recent examples was just the tip of the iceberg.

That looks like a page that should be sent to TRS for cutting or retooling.

We're already discussing TheyChangedItNowItSucks.Real Life (a hodgepodge of miscellany such as advertising, politics, and Asperger syndrome) on the Real Life section maintenance thread, so that's a precedent for cutting this one.
