The lede is in paragraph four. What the fuck. Why did I have to read three meaningless paragraphs to get to the headline.
You think you got it bad? I had to come in this comment ~~sexton~~ section to find the answer 4 comments down! If you read it, why didn't you put it in your comment?
J/k. I'm just a lazy fuck.
No idea what the article has to do with bellringers
Sadly, this was the only article I saw today on the topic. It is weird that it’s buried. I mean… isn’t “don’t burry the lede” the first principle of journalism?
Not anymore. Not when your revenue is dependent on people seeing ads. The further they scroll, the more ads they see. So they shove a bunch of garbage fluff in the first few paragraphs to keep people scrolling.
I assume you had to scroll by some ads to get there if you didn't have an adblocker.
I mostly browse on my phone using its reader mode so it’s basically just text. I forget that’s a thing.
It's gizmodo, i.e. trash
