Yeah, I’ve started to skip the first two paragraphs of all articles, now. This, combined with click-bait headlines, has started to make media articles more and more worthless. (In scientific writing and encyclopedia entries, they start with a summary so they immediately get to the point...)

I go down and read the last two paragraphs to see if they summed it up well. It’s a 33% I read the whole article based on summary and content.

I’m not asking for a great writer... just someone that knew what they were writing about before they started typing.
