This Axios „article“ is the written version of a TikTok session, in an ironic turn of events. The bite sized information and the excessive use of bullet points is designed to keep readers engaged in a world driven by ultra short attention spans. I bemoan the lack of a well researched, deep article around this latest pivot of Facebook.
I mean, this style of writing is actually very old. It's just a thing. Have you ever read Marx's Theses on Feuerbach, for example? Similar brief and punctuated style. Written in 1845.
