No it is not worse! Even if the title is totally biased and link-baity and whatever at least I can still guess the approximate topic the article is about. Based on this I can then decide if i am interested in it or not. But with the original title this is often impossible. For example a few days ago there was a submission with the title "Beer". Since i am interested in beer I clicked on it. But instead of something interesting about beer I got a piece of alcohol fueled drama in the Ruby community which I am totally not interested in. By leaving the original title I almost always have to click on all articles on the frontpage to find the 4 or 5 articles I am interested in. Perhaps we should get rid of the complete title to make it as unbiased as possible? Just put the number 1 to 30 on a page and link them to the articles and hide the domain via javascript. This way you prevent a lot of problems... For me almost nothing would change because I already have to click on almost all the links just to figure out what's in the article and if i am interested in it.
