I'm about done with these blog posts that have the structure of
[intro]
[summary]
[long discursion about fundamental concepts or personal story]
There are relatives of this, from recipe blogs (the originators), to programming ("OK, before I tell you how to install Python, let me tell you why Python exists"), to, well, I guess pretty much everything. The transformation of howtos into whatis'es is related to the spammer's mentality that "if someone gets something from it, it's worth it."
It's aggravating, I wish there was a "Skip Intro" button like Netflix has for TV series.
