    I feel that I shouldn’t make the final call for moderation in this community since I’m here more as support/spam removal, so I’d go with whatever the other mods decide.

    In most other communities, when I’m posting something potentially clickbait-y, I prefer to edit the title and then make it clear that I edited it, either with square brackets or by mentioning the edit in the post body. I might also add why I’m sharing something if it’s not clear (ex. that the analysis is good, or the channel is something the community would like). That seems to reduce the chance of complaints/reports/mod actions.

    The main exception being the communities that are strict about requiring the original title (ex. News communities mostly)
