Honestly, maybe this is the problem.

A web-of-trust-like implementation of votes and flags, as suggested below, might be a solution, but I feel like it's an overkill. I've recently flagged a different clickbait submission, about Android Developer Verification, whose title suggested a significant update but that merely linked to the same old generic page about the anti-feature that was posted here months prior. Around 100 points too, before a mod stepped in, changed the title, and took it down.

Maybe the upvote button is just too easy to reach? I have a feeling that hiding it behind CSS :visited could make a massive difference.
