Can we amend the title rule to allow replacing clickbait headlines with concise, detailed titles instead? Fuck these clickbait headlines. "Founder Sold Plenty Of Fish to Match for $575m Cash, No VCs Involved [2015]" Needs a 2015, too.

I was going to say, isn't this old news? I thought IAC owned them for a while... and they did. Dang old story.

I feel like click baity titles need to intentionally withhold information to be evil. Get's to keep every penny is kind of assumed to be No VCs involved as well as there were no other founders employees with a large equity stake, which your title does not allude to.

  But it does withhold information: he's not keeping every penny because he'll have to pay taxes. No VCs involved != keep every penny.

    I think on this site it's understood by most.

The guidelines already say that: Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait. I guess it can be tricky to have the same taste as the mods when it comes to deciding what is link or clickbait.
