The whole redesign is a hot mess. But, as for Interests specifically...
  1. You need to fix the total disconnect between Interests and Shop in terms of how things are organized. You currently have two totally different sets of categories that aren't always obvious in terms of where they correspond.
  2. In the Interests drop-down, only individual interests can be explored. There's no combo page for either "My Interests" or "Other Interests" that gives you a single page to view all interests in either category. I shouldn't have to check in on each of my selected interests one-by-one.
  3. Products/Drops should be the top section by default.
  4. Giving us the option to set the order of sections would be nice (either globally or per interest; best would be a customizable global setting with an optional per-page override that can be customized differently).
  5. Setting up common sub-interests for each interest and allowing us to opt out of including them in the default views, email alerts, etc. would be greatly appreciated. (I'd love to be able to permanently strike knives out of Everyday Carry unless I explicitly go looking for them.)
  6. The entire layout, this... gallery view thing? Ugly, cheap-looking, inefficient. Each category, and each item in each category, takes up a ton of screen real-estate while giving you very little actual utility.

eponymousHello eponymous, Thank you for the feedback- very helpful. I'm a Product Designer here at Drop working with Duncan to improve the Interests page. I'd love to ask you more questions; I'm going to send you an email with more info.

Derek4RealHi Derek, if you've sent an email, I haven't received it. (Nothing in spam, either.) Also, not to put too fine a point on it, if you're planning to lean on community members for detailed feedback on the current site design, I hope you're planning some form of compensation for our time. Throwing together a quick comment highlighting some areas that need attention is one thing, but I'm not going to do this sort of direct work for a for-profit company without getting paid for it.

Derek4Realand @Duncan , another problem: Why are posts that are literally years old being featured on the Interests pages?

The fact that the timestamps are that horrible light grey makes the age of the posts especially easy to miss.
