I was thinking the exact same thing. I stopped reading after three sentences and couldn't find the scientific paragraph right away so I just when to the HN comment section to see if some could give me the gist of the story.

Many of these articles are written to increase volume, but its my take that no one really cares about who ate what this morning. Scientific papers often do the same thing

I think they're written this way for seo optimisation.

That's funny. SEO optimization for keywords "woods" and "Appalachians"? :-)

No, it's written that way to turn the person into a) a character, b) a relatable character.

Regular people like stories, not dry facts piled up.

Isn’t it mainly to provide more space for ads?
