Click bait
The use of click-bait phrases like "jaw-dropping NHL wives", etc. at the bottom of news stories has worn itself out, but now these phrases have found their way into the body of newsworthy articles.
Really? Is this what passes for writing these days.

Unfortunately yes.
You make a statement like it's some definite empirical fact. It is not. "Clickbait", by definition, is specifically designed to titillate and entice the reader to take the bait. That certainly does not mean all writing is like that. Your "conclusion" would be to akin to spam email to legitimate messages; they, too, are not.

Everything is all in perspective, really. As long as people click, that's all that matters. Banner advertising is a good money maker.
