Yeah, this is the exact problem with this update. The default view has changed, which is fine, with the number of new studios every day it shouldn't be all new scenes - but instead of making feed the default view and keeping all new scenes as an alternate page, all new scenes has gone altogether! Even if the old "new scenes" page wasn't fit for purpose, this is strictly a downgrade.
Plus it's confusing for the average user who doesn't check the forums religiously, because there's nothing to indicate that only followed tags show up on the new scenes page.
And frankly the fact that you can only follow or hide a tag/model/studio shows the lack of consideration that went into this update. I know it's been acknowledged as a mistake and another update that will let us set a tag is neutral is hopefully in the works, but that's the kind of thing that's fixed in the design stage by talking through your plans with someone, not days after the change has gone live to the whole site.
I appreciate you're trying to fix a gnarly problem with no perfect solution. Whatever changes are made there will be people who come to the update thread to shout about how much they hate it. I just think this one needed some discussion - not necessarily via the forum, I know that's not always productive - with a regular user of the site to get their perspective. For instance, my immediate thoughts on seeing this update were:
- If I want to discover scenes put out by new studios, how do I do that?
- If I decide I don't want every scene from a studio to be in my feed anymore, but I don't want to hide the studio, how do I do that?
