| Disagree. This is old journalism 101. I remember hearing about this years ago in civics class. Newspapers put all the meat in the headline and first couple paragraphs. Old newspapers are a Google search away to verify. Lots of the same behavior as you see on sites like Huff Post. It would be more accurate to say SEO borrowed a habit of shallow attention grabbing from news editors. But humans have evolved into wanting depth in their ideas. We’re into more detail all the way through now. Look at popular media, sci fi and magical worlds, deep character connectivity. Look at Serial and anything Ken Burns. Depth is cared about AND sells. Bloomberg is relevant cause Bloomberg is rich. That Bloomberg is not capable of depth isn’t a surprise. |
