This is a misleading title. They said no to whether they are currently considering any additional US joint ventures. The title implies that they are saying no to a specific joint venture, which is not the case, all existing joint ventures are continuing as planned.
- indoordin0saur 2y agoWonder how many news companies are using an idea I had to name their articles where you have an AI generate a large set of suitable titles based on the contents of the article and then rapidly A/B test them to determine which get the most clicks. I know they already do this to an extent but from what I understand there are only a handful of titles that are human generated.
- Aurornis 2y agoThe title of the article is usually cached wherever it is shared. The Facebook post, Discord link, Google search result, and even the HN post could be a snapshot of the title when it was indexed or shared, not necessarily when it was clicked. So you wouldn’t get the signal you hoped for. Making distinct URLs for each different headline would solve that problem, but I think you’d get flagged for duplicate content across your site. SEO would suffer, unless I’m mistaken. We’d need an SEO expert to chime in. In reality, editors and authors who have been doing this for years already know how to make titles into clickbait efficiently. They know what works best from experience and hundreds or thousands of personal trials.
