Fed-up long-time fan
I started reading Celeb**chy back in 2007 or so. Fourteen years ago! Hard to believe. I found it such a lovely little escape from reality. It was well-written, and the intelligent, thoughtful comments from other devoted readers over the years have taught me a lot about politics, history, and racism. I was in the habit of checking into the site at least once a day. Sadly, however, Celeb**chy has turned into a whine fest about the British royal family. Probably 75% of the articles published are about the RF. It's incredibly boring and repetitive now. Who are all these unhealthily obsessed people who want to not only read, but also comment multiple times a day on multiple stories that are essentially about the same thing? And because the stories are the same, the comments are always the same too. The same people repeating, over and over and over and over, their theories on everything related to the RF. Oh my god, GET A LIFE, PEOPLE. A lot of people who've left reviews here have their own opinions on the RF, and clearly don't like Celeb**chy/Kaiser because the views on the site don't align with their own. That's not the case for me. I could care less who Kaiser/commenters love or hate in the RF (in fact, I agree with them that the RF has treated Meghan Markle abominably). It's the fact that Celeb**chy has become such a one-trick pony in the last couple of years that bothers me. I'm tired of reading the same story day-in-and-day-out, each one with just a slightly different angle than the last (just to ensure that regular commenters click on it so the site can rake in the dough!). I want more variety--not only in the content, but also in the writing. There are at least three writers other than Kaiser--I always enjoy articles written by Celeb**chy themself, but these are few and far between, as Kaiser has basically been allowed to take over. And I get it, people are reading and lapping up what Kaiser has to say, so they're clearly making money for the site. So I'm guessing Celeb**chy doesn't care if you don't like the site anymore, or if loyal readers who've been fans for 14 years are done. Bottom line: I miss the old Celeb**chy , which was full of variety and intelligent conversation, and I think they should just change the name to Royal Family Whine Fest.
