Oh, man, I’m glad I’m not the only one to think this. It felt like a real article was in there, but the author had copied the stilted, overly verbose style of generated-for-SEO articles. I really hope we’re not entering a world where quality content has to be written in this robotic, repetitive way to ‘work’ online.

It’s not that it has to be written that way. It’s that people who have grown up with it have learned that this is the way.

This wouldn’t be an issue if people still read books

Very true. If the internet is making you feel bad, read a book!

I came to say the same thing. The 10th and 11th paragraphs (each one sentence) say the same thing. And they have the same effect as the title of the second section (immediately following those paragraphs). Each are the same idea of the article title.

Especially with the scroll-hijacking-in-line-ads every paragraph.

Which ads? The links I see are either to her other blog posts or to scientific studies. For example, the "cold brew method", "French press", "better water for coffee making", and "pressurized portafilter basket" links are all tutorial or explainer blog posts.
