    The article is only 400 words. I wonder if the writer of the article also comes up with the title, because the title is what makes it clickbaity. But also, I’m struggling to accept 400 words as an ‘article’. Its more like an abstract of an article that is yet to be written.

      I’m happy it didn’t start with a 10 paragraph story vaguely related to the article.

      Most news articles can be a paragraph or two.

      Usual practice as far as I know, is that the editor comes up with the headlines.
