Aside from clickbait, that’s probably my most hated trend with news articles nowadays. We noticed something, said a vaguely interpretable sentence then wrote that sentence in about as many ways as we could then posted it. It just feels so damn lazy, and such a waste of time. I could have just read the headline and moved on.
These news sites need to drop the article format and adopt a more blurb like style where instead of a user needing to click through a headline, it’s just a headline and like 2 sentences about the thing the headline is talking about. And then for further context click through but that’s it really.
It is most definitely an article. Would you like to read the headline again, but longer?
