A tangent about writing conventions: It pisses me off when a headline tells me that I'm understanding / doing something wrong.
I realize this is subjective, but I hear it as the author arrogantly assuming that their insight or approach is objectively better than those of their entire audience. Without even knowing their audience members are. They just know they're more correct than you, and they're happy to advertise that.
I'm sure it drives engagement, but it definitely reduce the chance of me reading the article.
