Nobody is disputing that it is a legitimate choice. It is also legitimately off-putting. If their audience is into it though, good for them.

- DANmode 4mo agoHonestly, I was surprised to see this take. Their tone just makes me miss the original The Intercept and other used-to-be-heavy-hitters. Were they also too punchy for you? (I sound possibly sarcastic, but am genuinely curious)
- SllX 4mo agoI read The Intercept rarely and never saw enough of them to form any kind of take on their “typical” headline-style. 404 Media has been popping off everywhere though—including here-since they launched. This may sound pre-judgmental, but a headline is an advertisement & marketing for the article. A headline can get someone in that might otherwise have skipped the article, but it can just as easily dissuade people who might otherwise be interested in the subject matter.
