Thanks for the feedback! We've already played around a LOT with those and there's not much we can do about that. The point of the tiles it to show popularity (more popular = bigger).

If you don't like the grid view, you can always switch to the list view (which actually has more sifting functionality) by clicking on the tab near the top.

I did find the list view, but I switched back to grid view pretty quickly. If you're set on keeping the different tile sizes intermixed, perhaps you could come up with a layout that creates rivers of similar size tiles on the page for the eye to follow naturally. In typography, rivers are avoided at all costs, but I feel like the concept would be valuable here.

Just a suggestion, as always.

Thanks, it's much appreciated.
