Is there a law for "something"-year-old does "something" headlines?

I see them all the time - and I hate them because I cynically predict that what ever it is that they are about to tell me is going to be either trivial, false or hyped.

I don't blame the kids - I guess it's just to get the clicks/attention for the news organisations.

If your age is being touted as the reason we should care about what you have done - then the thing that follows is probably bullshit, trivial or hyped.

Have you ever heard "34"-year-old tech CEO launches new multi billion dollar product line?

No. You read "Google launches Project Glass".
