I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest maybe you’re too close to this. I notice the “clear win” cases frequently too. At best they’re very clearly and awkwardly editorialized. I click on them frequently just to reassure myself that I’m aware I’m not mistaking reality for fiction. I do the same with “why” and “\d” editorialized titles that get auto-edits. Maybe the clear win is identifying clickbait, but the editing is definitely not effective.

- eyelidlessness 4y agoDigits. Regex syntax, sorry about that.
- dredmorbius 4y agoAh, thanks!
