Let's talk about clickbait and sources when posting
Clickbait:
I understand not wanting to “editorialize” the author’s title, and it’s even forbidden in some communities. That’s fine, just including something in the text, or possibly append it to the end in brackets.
Probably 90% of articles I come across can be summarized in 1-2 sentences. I often find myself doing just that, but putting it in the comments makes it far less visible.
Sources:
Please do not link your post to a source of a source. Sometimes I have to click 3 and 4 articles deep to find the original source. If you come across an article that links to another source, without adding meaningful context, just link to the original source, please.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I hate this on gaming communities:
Just tell me the fucking name of the game so I can tell if I’ve already heard of it or if this is actually new information.

You didn‘t say the name either. 😭

I just made up a typical clickbait headline, I wasn’t talking about any game in particular…
