As an aging user, who has been online every single day for the last 15 years, I disagree.

I think this page is far too cluttered.

I like less and less content on a landing page for anything other than a link aggregation(LA) site (HN/Reddit/etc)

I am at your place (if not said LA site) for a specific reason; get me to that reason asap.

More and more, I have less time and less attention..
