Heres my Lemmy response to this guys Youtube response to a The New Yorker article: I don't care for clickbait titles. I don't have receipts, but I can assure you, clickbait titles aren't my thing.

Sorry, I didn't change the default title that Kbin gave before posting(By default it just grabs the title of the page and description).
