like they didn't even fix major issues, like general accessibility for colorblind people, that were known about and acknowledged by him months ago.

To be fair to Allen, people give him shit about stuff like this, but there's a good chance he has very little control over it.

If his corporate overlords tell him to do something, it's his job to give them what they ask for even if it's stupid, and then try to sell it to the userbase as if it's a good idea. It's not like he'd ever really be able to go "Look, I know this is stupid, but it's not like I have a choice."

Considering the site just got sold off recently, there's a very good chance the new owners just demanded a rebranding to put their stamp on it, but they don't actually understand anything about coding, user interfaces, or what users actually want, so they just gave him a list of bad ideas and then demanded he implement it by [insert date here].

Of course, it could be entirely his idea, in which case he probably shouldn't be in charge of anything, let alone something that used to be a fairly popular site on the Internet (and the fact that he IS in charge might help explain why it's no longer a fairly popular site on the Internet). But it's hard to say exactly whose fault it is, because he can't really pass the buck if it isn't his fault.
