Especially when posting on Lemmy, we can edit the titles people. Don’t just copy the clickbait title. Folks here on Lemmy loathe clickbait and I see more things get downvoted to hell because of a lame title.

The real title: Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis draws mixture of boos and applause at Cannes
Are you desperate for readers with your clickbait title?

I’d rather post the clickbaity title then edit and get accused of clickbaiting myself.
I presume folks here are mature enough to note a clickbaity title, and move on to their actual comment, e.g., “Clickbaity title aside, the widget issue Alice and Bob are debating is very serious.”

The “clickbait” title seems the more accurate of the two, having read the article.
