Started noticing a new trend in clickbait websites.
Burying the lede behind multiple paragraphs of background information so you have to scroll past multiple ads before you find out the important information hinted at in the headline.
Take this shit for example:
https://www.wearethepit.com/2024/02/the-finnish-metal-legends-who-broke-up-in-order-to-secure-a-record-deal/
Paragraph 12 of a 13 paragraph story is where you find out that the band is Children of Bodom.
This is even more annoying than recipe websites where the author gives you their whole life story before listing the fucking ingredients.
Journalism is dead.
