I've been observing this trend all over lately and I don't like it as well. So many people don't care at all whether the information they are getting is true or just fantasized by some "journalist" on a paycheck with a page views KPI. It feels like it is much more important to media/publishers to entertain rather than inform/educate audiences, even at the price of their (long term) reputation.

I've noticed this happening with game reviews as well. Even if a review is well written and quite long, it will include one random screenshot where it's not even entirely clear what you're looking at, or a link to stock trailer. It's so weird to me, I used to peruse reviews when I was younger and look at screenshots to get a feel for what the game looks like, and now we have seemingly unlimited space for pictures on online articles but there's fewer, not more of them.

I usually scroll fast through such stories looking for photos. I wonder if that's the intent: Don't include the photo and readers actually give your article a full view instead of leaving after seeing the photo (and presumably not earning your ads viewership).
