    What is this trend of very slow-paced narration that appeals to what many people or average people would think, and reads like one of those clickbait links with a shocking title but takes 30 clicks to progress to an anti-climactic ending?

    It’s as if people can’t conceptualize something very well and need someone to do it for them.

      Yeah. It’s odd to me as well. Like, it comes from click bait trying to keep you on an article long enough for ad revenue to build–I get that. I don’t get why it’s permeating.
