In the pre web 2.0 world, when a large number of people still got daily newspapers and the internet wasn't designed around stealing data and keeping you online to view ads for as long as possible, there was a thing in journalism where news articles were written in reverse chronological order, giving you the conclusion first, the event before that and the event before that, all the way up to how it started.
It was known that people would only read part of a story before moving on to another headline. Rather than "two days ago, when Joe Smith stumbled, he knocked over a domino that set off an amazing chain of events, in this exact order, just wait until you see how it ends," stories, they were "a chain of events, beginning with Joe Smith knocking over a domino in the Rube Goldberg museum two days ago, ended early this morning when a driverless milk truck sped through downtown, where it crashed through the side of the Main Street bridge and into the Self-Referentially Named River. A rock had been wedged against the accelerator when it was pushed by a monkey when it was startled by a ... which Joe Smith accidentally bumped into and knocked over when he visited the museum on a school tour two days ago".
Editors could shorten stories by ending them after any paragraph they wanted to, and it would still be complete (maybe with some minor edits of the remaining text and/or keeping the final paragraph).
Readers could click from one story to the next and immediately get the most up-to-date synopsis from the first couple of paragraphs.
Anyway, that's a thing that existed on a large scale, at one point.
