Clickbait titles are pretty well discouraged here. Although it's normally not an issue if a description is provided and this post is missing that as well.

Edit: added clarification about descriptions.

it's literally a copy and paste of the article title. lol

Yep! That's a pretty apt description of the issue haha.

If someone wants to post an article with a clickbait title and doesn't want to be downvoted in this community, they should either rewrite the title in a non clickbaity way or write a description to clear up the intentional ambiguity. At that point, it's up to the reader to choose whether it's worth their time to dive into the article for further details or not.

That's literally against the rules in many communities. Lol

It's against the rules to add a description when you can't change the title?
