I have a similar experience, but I blame my history education. this is why I enjoyed all the sarah paine lectures last summer, though. she does a very good job of weaving all the events into a grand narrative that fits together cohesively
who/what do you recommend for good history storytelling?
not a whole lot, but I had to tune mine once, and that'll imprint it in your brain
I noticed the same thing and it immediately squicked me out
I asked claude about this practice in a new chat, and I'm not sure but I think maybe it got the hint, because I don't think I've seen it since
my most fruitful history deep dives so far have been wikipedia, fwiw, so that tracks
storytelling as in "conveying the information with context and purpose, giving good 'reason to care', painting a sense of place and time and the personalities involved", etc

interesting. as they currently appear, they don't seem to collide with what I'm imagining, except superficially
