It's been my view that everything that one chooses to write is generally chosen from the space of all other possible things that could be said. Particularly, I think making the first exposure to your article a clickbait headline says some important things about the contents of the article and the approach of the author. Those are important signals that help those with a keen eye to weed out low signal-to-noise ratio articles.

On the flip side, there seems to be a lot of noise lately and it would be nice to have a break from it, so I'd almost want to be spared from being served these articles entirely. But then that's taking editorial powers to another level.
