Horrible and MEAN, hurting SEO and revenue
-
Many people like me have a lot of content in the form of blog posts, since WordPress was a blogging platform.
They forced Gutenberg upon us, without options to “convert” easily our former posts.
When Gutenberg appeared, it didn´t turn automatically my articles into correct blocks. It messed up titles with paragraphs, turning articles into a single content block of 1800 words! That hurts SEO and revenue.
The only solution was to manually convert each old post to Gutenberg. Not realistic.
Also, while editing in Gutenberg (yes, I tried to write content from scratch in that nightmare) you have to click like 4 times to change the color of a single word!!!? WTF.
And you have to know IN ADVANCE which parts of your text are headings, and where they should go, and how long should each paragraph should be, and everything like that.
If you want to make your Gutenberg thing mandatory, at least don´t make it so dumb it can´t tell apart paragraphs from H4s, or images, or shortcodes, etc in my old content.
