    Maybe the articles blocked for me, just had a few paragraphs visible. Does anyone know why this is and what it’s likely outcome is?

      That’s just modern journalism. They know most people only read the headlines so they stopped bothering to actually write an article to go with the headline.

      The article genuinely is 3 sentences with line breaks so it looks like 3 paragraphs.

      Edit: They did write an actual article on the subject here. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/cant-buy-new-jeans-argentinas-100-inflation-draws-crowds-used-clothes-markets-2023-11-13/

      I guess they needed to publish a decoy article on the same day for accounting purposes or something.

        Reuters is a news agency/wire service so it makes sense that their news is shorter since their job is primarily to report on stuff very quickly and sell the information to newspapers (and others) so they can make a full article on it.

        This is why it’s incredibly common to read something like “according to Reuters…” in articles.

        Other big new agencies are AP and AFP.
