Idea Bad A It's Think I.

Part 4: In conclusion, this decision leads to poorly-arranged content, and badly damages the ability to read any "Live Follow-Along" articles (like Brandi Buchman, whose very important court room coverage of the Oathkeeper's Seditious Conspiracy trial is being badly-mangled to near-unreadability by this website’s current setting / configuration / arrangement that puts New Updates at the top).

Part 3: And if you ever come back to an article later, you have to try to actually READ those tiny timestamps, try to remember which timestamp you had previously looked at, and scroll up and down trying to find the NEWEST timestamp which is AFTER the last one you saw.

Part 2: It requires people who come to an article to scroll to the bottom of the article, then scroll upwards, hunting for tiny timestamp-and-diving-lines along the way to see where you should start reading from.

Part 1: I think the "Article Updates Go At The Top" is a terrible website / article / formatting convention.
