    Yeah that title is written by someone who’s not understood evolutionary mechanics.

    I have no sympathy for this pseudo science bullshit title game.

      You should try reading more than just headlines…

      Because people who only read headlines, are the ones to blame for these clickbait headlines even on genuine scientific articles.

      In all likelihood the author had nothing to do with the headline, and the only reason the headline is there is so the article gets shared by people who won’t click talking about how dumb it is.

      And then the few who actually read articles correct them.

      More comments mean the post gets seen more, and people talking about how the article isn’t as bad as the headline gets more to click on it.

      You’re the reason they have to use shit headlines, and they’re exploiting your behavior to compensate for it.

      It’s honestly genius, but my guess is you’re going to get mad they’re able to predict people like you so well.
