Friendly suggestion: Substitute video's clickbait title with something more informative like "Variable pricing using AI algorithms are increasing grocery prices."
I can't believe anyone would think that clickbait is something people want. There is no purpose to it here - no affiliate monetary gain, no cash for clicks - just a Youtube video. Note that my quarrel is with the video uploader, not OP
Clickbait is probably not something that people want, but their prevalence seem to indicate that they work, unfortunately.
I'll consider that next time here. Sometimes people feel that the title should stay.
That was a rule in some subreddits. I've found that, on Lemmy, de-clickbaiting headlines is generally appreciated.
It depends on the community/instance for the most part. This is a great piece, but I almost didn’t click on it because of the shitty title.
More Perfect Union is great. Consumer Reports still does some good work; they used to be even better, but they don’t have the funding they used to.
You can maybe add the context on the body of the post instead, if you (or the community rules) need to use the original title verbatim.
This. If I can’t get the basic premise of something in a few seconds, I move on. I assume if they had something useful to say that isn’t an ad or a ploy to get me to look at ads, they’d get to the point as quickly as possible and then fill in the details.
