I hate this trend of forcing really weak story telling into articles. I clicked the link because I was interested in the headline, not the balmy weather in Singapore.

That was my first thought as well after reading the first few sentences. I actually gave up on reading the article because of it.

Though I've noticed this to be more common in the blockchain/cryptocurrency sphere, perhaps that's just because I tend to read those kinds of articles more often.

No, this is a technique used elsewhere too. I believe it is called an anecdotal lede or a delayed lede.

I was intrigued by the narrative until it turned into basically nothing, I expected some interesting discovery
