HM automatically deletes exclamation points from titles. Was curious (and because it's a lazy Saturday) and found that the title-sanitizer also deletes exclamation points from anywhere in the text (not just the end). I guess that makes submitting a code snippet with `!` a bit tricky.
Is it just me or is the scope of what's considered "clickbait" expanding exponentially?
I don't see how this is clickbait. How and to what degree we record human communication has a direct impact on what's remembered as history. The headline isn't exaggerating.
Now? It's been chockablock full of it for at least a half decade. I loved the crossword, but it got so that was the only part worth reading out of the whole paper.
A "catchy headline" used to mean something with clever alliteration. I doubt the editors from even ten years ago would have allowed something like this one.
