I think a big part of the answer is not to care. Or rather to just silently auto-discount.

Imagine the 60s-90s and advertising just overwhelm with sexualised figures. We don't notice, because we just silently pass by.

I don't see any way of turning back the tide of hyperbolic titles on articles. Better to just ignore them and move on.

Buzzfeed headlines worked on me the first few times, now I know not to go there.

Yeah, this is what I do to a tee. I just say "well, can't credit them as a reliable source of quality journalism." Then I move on and find some coherent research on what I need to know.
