No, people just think your petty response to the headline, in the absence of any meaningful response to the article, doesn't contribute anything to the conversation.

    Fair enough. I'll live with my downvotes, but it is a pet peeve. In the spirit of making a more tangible contribution, albeit still an off-topic one, I'll leave this slightly satirical Mc Sweeney's article here, which addresses this scourge: https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/two-sentence-headlines-are-everywhere-heres-why-you-should-be-concerned

    I do believe that having issues with the current format of media is, in itself, a trope that is as old as time.

    Criticism of confirming to the norm is a bit lazy. Certainly in this case. It could've been the editor that forced him to the format.

    Or do you find fault with him putting house Pulitzer prize forward in the title? Because if so, ironically inferring from your posted article, he should've used a three sentence title :p.
