Editor-In-Chief Abusing Their Power

I think Lily Alice (editor-in-chief) is abusing their power- simple as that.

They are pushing their articles up-front and refuse to publish editorials that have been waiting to be published for MONTHS. They also do not include their editorials in the spreadsheet Google form, where all other editorials are. 

Other than that, they completely stopped publishing editorials written by MDL users, that are UNPAID. 

If MDL writers won't get an answer in this forum thread, I will create a support ticket to obtain answers for this particular behavior that has been ongoing for a LONG time. 

It's been months since I was last active on this site regarding the unfair treatment of the writers, and when I came back, I could see that the writers are treated even WORSE than before. I ask for a clarification of this issue, that has been ongoing for YEARS.

I totally agree. The quality of articles has dropped significantly recently. I miss the old homepage, where I would immediately click as soon as an article was published because they were all so interesting.

We’ve gone from in-depth, high-quality guides created by passionate users to an overload of useless gossip news. Please bring back articles like "An Ultra Fan Guide to XX Actor," "Currently Watching XX Drama," "Introduction to XX Genre," or "A Guide to XX." These were so much better than the gossip-filled content that now dominates the homepage. Please leave that to Soompi or Allkpop.

Quality is more important than quantity. For example, I don’t care if XX drama topped TV ratings. What I do care about is an analysis of why it’s good and why I should watch it, just like the old "Currently Watching" articles used to do.

Its sad to see what the article section of MDL has become ... :(

Exactly, like from a marketing point of view, the News section is doing absolutely terribly in terms of numbers. So...why keep them and not editorials which did humongous numbers in terms of views and likes? It simply doesn't make sense. 

Also, this issue has been around for years, but we haven't heard from any admin and the admin's spokesperson only said that they're gonna ''relay'' the message to the admin, but it's been months and nothing has changed. Just like in real life politics, they try to reassure u that they are ''working'' on the problem, while they are having a vacation in Maldives lol.
