    Whenever someone posts these ridiculous headlines and doesn’t explain what the actual article is about, I find that around 80% of the time, the opinion presented is actually decently-made or more nuanced than initially assumed, and the title is just phrased that way for clicks.

      In some publications, article authors don’t even get to choose their own titles. They write the articles; marketing department writes the titles.

      It’s also frustrating when someone takes something from the Opinion column and reacts as if it’s an actual news article.
