Ah, yes, the inverted pyramid. You can stop reading at any point and rest assured you’ve already read the most important information. I suppose that works well in a newspaper where both you and the advertisers have already paid, so it doesn’t matter if you actually look at the ads.

I suppose this is one area where LLMs could help. I’d like to have an “inverted pyramid reader” browser plug-in.

Edit:

If you call in the next 10 minutes, we will double your order! That’s right, we will give you 2 of these things for $19.99!

Really? Why didn’t you just say in the beginning that this is a $10 item and the only option is to buy 2? Oh, it’s because you’ve reversed the reverse pyramid. Got it.
