Title seems like Facebook bashing but the article is more even keel. Suggest that "Then it gave up" be removed from the post title

That would be editorialising, since that's in the actual article.

Edit: I don't mind being downvoted, but I would really like to know why that's the case so I can improve how I contribute to the forum.

I'm with you, seems like the title should've stayed. If the framing was a problem, it should be prefixed by who is making the claim.

For the most part it's correct, they emded the experiment. However, it would probably communicate better to say "Then had to turn back." That probably conveys what happened, in that the "bad" stuff that we attribute to the algorithm still managed to grow without it, and normal engagement went down.
