    So instead of being fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by journalists, you can get fooled by fake and misleading headlines written by Twitter users? If you insist on not reading the article, I’m not sure one of those is worse than the other.

      Being fooled by Twitter users is worse as they can link to reputable sources (that usually wouldn’t post clickbait/bad headings). There’s also little incentive for twitter users to not post misleading headlines, while (some) journalists/news sites are trying to build a reputation of reputability. Yes, it would be solved by clicking the article, but you shouldn’t have to click every article to make sure the poster isn’t lying about the content.
