: Re: Why do most online articles get to point only after 2 or more paragraphs? A lot of articles you read online would start by random quotes and abstract thoughts or philosophy not on the actual

It sounds like you're sick of the 'nut graf'.

Broadly speaking, it's a paragraph explaining why the topic is worthwhile. Writers are often trained to use it. It answers the question 'Why should anyone care about this article?'

That's potentially useful for a reader who happens on the article while browsing. But in your case, you're specifically hunting for the information that follows â€” you already care â€” which is probably why, to you, it's just redundant introductory blather.

Of course, the other possible explanation is that the articles aren't very good.
