No click bait titles
There are multiple titles for stories that have "click bait" titles, and I am getting tired of clicking on the story, just to find out it is the opposite of what the title was talking about!
I just got done reading a story with the title: Groom blasted for 'suspicious' behavior as his bride walked down the aisle: 'Wedding canceled'
I wanted to know what happened to cause a wedding to be cancled, but instead the author put a comment from a reader into the title, which misled me to believe the wedding was canceled, which it was not.
I have been reading a lot of stories like this, which include reader comments in the titles, which makes the story sound good only to end up being false. I am on the verge of leaving yahoo news for google news instead. I have been reading your site for over 20years, and this recent (in relative terms) change is getting annoying.
Please ask your authors to stop using reader comments in the titles, and to put correct titles for the stories.
