I hate this type of journalism. Article writers are driven by metrics given to them by publishers. In this case, the metric they might be trying to optimise is time spent on the website.
This type of journalism works well if the backstories are tied well together to the main story, and is done by a good writer. But when average writers do it, the stories are tedious, and hard to read.

It's not that. It also happens in written media. It's not just as filler either. They have the dellusion that this makes the story better...
