There is a tradeoff of course, between the content shown on the Home Page and the time to download it. I would like to suggest that there is a setting that the user can (maybe with a slider) select what is shown today in length, to something considerably longer. I personally would be willing to wait bit to see more of the content that I have selected on the Home Page, it's frankly fun to scroll through, reading articles, clicking on videos, etc! If it shows about 3 pages of vertical info now, how about up to 6 or 8 pages if we select? Default would be the current length, of course.
Can we have more please? :-)
