This is as we have strategized, which is that these recent changes will improve the overall "Site Quality", Relevance and Organization, over time.
The real benefits to users, will be more visible once we have implemented the planned significant improvements to our "Relevance Algorithms", which will provide more relevant:
While we understand that many users will not be happy with many of our decisions made in improving/adjusting the way how this site works and operates,
we (SW Staff) DO definitely always consider user feedback, very strongly, in every decision we make.

Please note that a "Majority Vote" on a public poll (for example) will not always be indicative of the path we have decided to take on a decision, (especially for years old feedback polls, where many factors would have since changed).
There will always be a lot of crucial data that is only available to SW Staff (just as with any other website/service), that also factors heavily in the final decisions we make.

We continue to look forward to incoming growth for SW, in the coming months. 👍
Many of our recent and in-development changes to this site, are being done, in part, to allow and facilitate such user growth, as well as to provide a higher quality experience to all of our users, in the long-term.
Thanks for your continued feedback, support and patience! 🙂
Kind regards, -SW Staff

We do have a large backlog of requests, we are still slowly getting through, and attempting to fulfill.
There is still the "SW Games" for example, which we really are excited about as well (we wish we could already have them live here now...),
but some of these tasks are very large and demanding, and will take a little more time to be fulfilled, but we will keep working to get as many user requests done as we can. 🙂

Also to add:
[quote]The real benefits to users, will be more visible once we have implemented the planned significant improvements to our "Relevance Algorithms", which will provide more relevant:
As mentioned, in the coming weeks, once we are able to release the improved Relevant Algorithms,
you should be able to see much more interesting content in your feeds, that are relevant to your interests.
Right now, feeds are still very fairly disordered, and every day, most users see random things in posts they are not subscribed to.
We are aiming to have feeds finally show more of what users actually want/are subscribed to (Friends, Groups, Interests).
Also importantly, we are working on changes that will allow you to see interesting posts from your friends, even made hours, or days before you signed in. So you should be able to see relevant content you may have otherwise missed in the current, purely chronological format.
Like things that bring us together. Better emoji’s in comments, maybe a spot to put peoples names next to their user names cause I always forget, maybe the ability to not be seen at all on here, changing the color of the feeds, things of that nature. I don’t care about the algorithm stuff.@Andrew
