When did inset quotes of the article itself begin to be placed after the text quoted? I feel like this is a change from what I expect: that inset quotes are optional, interesting asides that add value to the article. Not word-for-word copy-pastes of what I just read.

Has this changed? I feel like the approach taken in this article is becoming more common and I kind of hate it. But I also wonder if it's just my mind playing tricks on me. If it is a change, is it due to digital publishing constraints or does it serve some purpose or audience that I can't envision?
