    I’m surprised no one had mentioned this yet

    It’s because there’s an annoying trend of everyone reading the headline and not the article. Drives me bonkers

      Headline: “THING IS HAPPENING”

      Body: “Here’s 1000 words unrelated to the headline. Here’s some ads. Here’s interviews with three people saying nothing of interest. Here’s the thing you clicked under the headline for and it adds a bit of nuance to the headline along with a bunch of waffling and uncertainty. Here’s a pointless anecdote. More ads! Here’s a recipe for chicken wings and a bunch of pictures of celebrities. Oops! Article ended a full screen ago. Nothing down here but clickbait and more ads.”

      Gee, I wonder why people just take the headline at face value.
