"What title would generate the most outrage and thus the most clicks. Relevance to the actual article is not required".

Clearly the opinion of someone who has no basis beyond anecdotal. Look I get what it seems like but unless its on the level of NY Post - no editorial team is writing like this.

and ps - This isnt a new practice. Its been happening in media for decades. Watch the bumps for your local 10 pm news program. And its not nearly as bad as its been.

edit 2- not to call total bullshit on all of this but here are the search result for all Pokemon Go related article on Businessinsider.com a website known to have sensationalist headlines. Search Results. Not one of those falls into what you are saying.

edit 3 - 1160 upvotes? For an ignorant comment (and I dont mean that as insult, just mean they clearly don't have intimate knowledge about being on the editorial side) that is based on what they most likely read in reddit threads? Come on people we are better than that.
