To be fair, many of the big "400+" stories were 99% just two or three people having a conversation not at all related to the story. I'm not too sad to see those go.

I felt the same way about people who lean their seat all the way back. However, at my current height I have no other choice but to bang the hell out of their seat every time I move, so I feel it's really their choice.
