Clarity and UI Changes
Why people moved: Users shifted from tiring reading to intuitive browsing, driven by curiosity triggered by visuals.

After: Visual cards for quick scanning and interaction.
The before state had a text-heavy headline, dull subheadline, and a weak CTA with no visual proof. After the redesign, content cards and a trending UI were introduced, encouraging users to explore more.
