I have nothing against it OP for sharing this, but the headline of this article by PCgamer is super clickbaity, witholding the key info until you give them a click. There was a subreddit called "saved you a click" that was basically taking clickbait headlines and putting the "prize info" in the post title. I wonder if there will be a Lemmy equivalent.
You could always include such information in the body of the post (that way not altering the original title of the article which could lead to other problems), I guess communities could even require this to be done for every clickbaity article
Agreed!
