I don't want to agree to all of their cookies to read the article. Is this yet another IV doc that used his own sperm?

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.

Be the change you want to see?

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What specifically are you suggesting?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Yep, we can do both.
