This title should be changed to a less "click bait" one.
How Titles Evolved: It Wasn't for Giving Away the Actual Information in the Article
Anybody want to take a shot at a less baity, accurate, neutral title? Preferably using representative language from the article.
Can you change the title too to something that doesn't seem like they are trying to mislead people? The real title is "Here’s how one of Atlassian’s critical services consistently gets above 99.9999% of availability"
Ok, the original title was accurate and describes what's in the article.
That's not the article title
Wold be nice to have a submission title that actually says what the article is about.
Couldn't you have gone with a less link-baity title?
The actual title is "Adblockers: The only way out" which communicates a very different intent than the current title for this submission.
