Plus, this might be a bit nitpicky on my part, but “X isn't as Y as you thought” headlines are almost always uninformative clickbait. I mean, how private did I think DuckDuckGo [browser] was before? Did you think it was more private than I did? Or less? How private did the author believe it to be?
I would much prefer informative headlines which make no assumption of prior beliefs, for example:
“X sells itself as Y, but it does Z”
“X not as Y as alternative option A is”
...or even a headline where the author's subjective belief is invoked, if that is the style of the article:
“X isn't as Y as I thought”
