This headline hurts my brain

There seems to be a trend in journalism to avoid the word “and” and replace it with commas. I hate it.

This is much more readable:

MP who helps shape AI and auto policy owns Palantir and Tesla stock

That “trend” started in the 16th century.

OP did say trend. Not anything to do with when. Just sayin

It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It isn’t a trend. It’s older than the majority of words you use. It isn’t a trend.

Just curious;

Can't a style of writing specific to an industry be considered a trend? Or does it have to be a recent/popular fad to be considered as such.

It implies something recently cropping up. The “trend” of the last thousand years is, like, your culture, or something. At some point it’s the norm and not an aberration.

Ok

Conflict of interest much?

Just another nameless, faceless money guy. They're getting worse than a rat infestation. Where is the Pied Piper when you really need him?
