I was less pleasantly surprised. It's become extremely common to write titles that are "clever" or that require context from the article to parse. That completely eliminates the most useful aspect of a title -- to give a hint as to the contents. If all titles were like this no one would have any clue what to click on and what to ignore.

Could we please be a little more boring and a little more straightforward with our titles?
