    Yes. Misleading title is a lie. Putting that lie into the title of our community makes this entire discussion premised on a lie. Most people are not going to read the article, and the hasbara / propaganda of the title still gets the eyeballs. So it is a net negative

        Yes. Because the article exists as a tuple of both the title and the content, and the title dominates. The title poisons the article

            I can’t believe most people are reading the article before commenting in lemmy

            But even supposing they do, all the people who scroll past the article in the feed, are being poisoned by the lie in the title

              I don’t believe that either, which is why I sometimes ask them if they have.

              Sadly one cannot force anyone to read… one can only expect others to do it.
