Even the BBC is now unreadable with these by-lines.

What do you consider a by-line, Terry, and what's wrong with them in this article?

A by-line as I know it (and DuckDuckGo confirms) is the line under the title saying who wrote the article.

Anything that is irrelevant to the title of the article, shit that gets added. The title is "They quit the West for Russia's traditional values".

"but it wasn't as expected" is all horseshit clickbait.

1. Don't redefine terms.

2. Why is it clickbait, isn't it an accurate half a sentence summary of what happened? If they wanted clickbait it'd be "you won't believe what they got instead.".
