Even the BBC does that. Annoying to see the same story over and over, sometimes
right next to each other, and sometimes 3 or more times. Guess they don't have
any editorial oversight, and just chuck stuff into their CMS. Lazy.
They sometimes have story, then most viewed story, then favorite
story, or just keep repeating.
I isn't uncommon for recent published articles to be both summarised on the home page and linked as a most frequently viewed top ten as well.
Everybody is doing it.
Between that and a zillion popups and auto-refresh and new window
openings, I've given up on many sites, including technical ones.
Another metric is the Trump Count. Even scientific/technical sites
have high Trump counts. I bail from a site (or a newspaper article)
when it sprurious injects the T-word. That makes the Sunday New York
Times a two minute read. The Register was hitting Nt of 6 or 8 on the
home page, but seems to be tapering off.
I guess actual content is too expensive these days.
It will get cheaper when AI can just roll it out and they can avoid the expensive overheads of knowledgeable technical reporters.
