Is this a typical unit of measurement in journalism? Like what even is this? Crappy in-article advertising? Some weird SEO shit? An odd attempt to be cool and hip?
It's America; anything but metric.
And which "metric" unit of time measurement do you prefer?
Well, metric time, obviously:

I prefer seconds since 00:00:00 on Jan 1st, 1970
Ah yes, the metric measurement of time. My favorite.

Your point? It's still not really a valid comment. Just a braindead joke that's played out even when it's actually relevant lol
Yes.
It's the kind of phrasing you use when you're paid for how long an article is, but not how good it is.
