Hey, I know this is the original title but please rename it to be more descriptive. I saw the title , assumed the worst and then was reassured on reading the article.
- JoachimS 5y agowhat would be a better title?
- xvector 5y ago"Mullvad VPN isn't going anywhere" "We will not sell MullvadVPN"
- potamic 5y agoSounds quite clickbaity. I actually like titles the describe the subject rather than the conclusion.
- culopatin 5y agoHow would giving the punchline cause more bite than an undefined outcome? If that was the case you wouldn’t see titles like “you won’t believe what happens when you X” and instead you would see “nothing out of the ordinary happened when we X, save yourself 10 min”. This title is clickbait in the sense that you see it and you have to wonder “oh crap are they selling out? Let’s click and find out”. If they said “Mullvad is not selling and we tell you why” there is no bait.
- potamic 5y agoBecause the conclusion is usually more nuanced and putting it in the title makes you start to form an opinion before reading the article.
