Agreed. NPR never used to use clickbait titles like this ("He ..." is pure clickbait). It's sad to see them doing it regularly now. I imagine the latest generation of journalists grew up thinking this is normal. I know HN prefers original headlines, but I wish these would be edited down when posted here.

- caymanjim 5y agoI often say the same thing myself. I expect it on CNN, and I do passively protest by ignoring links like this most of the time. NPR usually has good articles behind the links, and I'm more inclined to hold my nose and click if they make it to HN. In this case, the actual article is good. I'm lamenting the negative trend.
