The last time I did a check-in on President Trump’s popularity in November, I noted that the decline in his approval ratings had been remarkably linear.

[Edit] Changed link to point to original article instead of Newsweek as suggested (with valid reasons)

I don't know that it's an LLM thing generally speaking. Axios has been using it standardized for a while now, and god I hate it, but I can see it being copied by other outlets as useful to retain the attention of brainrotted readers who lack the discipline to read past the headline. I thought the same thing, though, before I remembered how long Axios has been doing it and that it's probably a reasonably successful format for short-form articles.
