I've noticed this has happened more and more recently: an article with a link bait title makes it to the front page and then it gets it's name changed (im not sure if its changed by admins or submitters)
I've also noticed (from seeing the pre-change link-bait title and the post-change original title) that I would probably miss out on some interesting articles if it wasn't for link bait titles. (ie I agree with sibling DevX101)
So now I don't really see anything wrong with changing the title, as long as its done prudently. What's worse is blog authors that give their uninteresting articles link-bait names, then making it to the front page based not on the content of the essay but on the effectiveness of the title.
