    Yeah, I downvoted for not having enough context. Dropping a clickbait title and nothing else is poor form

      It’s the curse of lemmy/piefed at the moment. Low effort posts to pump up numbers.

      Don’t get me startet on the newest trend to change the original titel to make it sound even more bonkers. That should be banned in every single community asap.

            That people post interesting articles without changing the titles rather than complain about what other people are doing.

              Agreed it’s important to model behaviour. Even if each of us are adding lots of interesting articles with unchanged titles it seems pretty important to also say click bait with misleading titles aren’t appropriate. Or if they are appropriate here, anyone know some moderators or a community that finds them unreasonable?
