so now youre changing your requirements after your first statement is shown to be flawed?

L. O. L.

First of all, my story can't change, since that's my first comment in this thread. Second, reading comprehension is your friend in situations like this. From what you quoted:

I usually respect ars technical for writing great stories.

This time, however, they could’ve included the name of the app so it wasn’t clickbaity

Those are two independent clauses, referring to content and headline separately. That would be clear if you consider the definition of click bait:

Clickbait typically refers to the practice of writing sensationalized or misleading headlines in order to attract clicks on a piece of content. It often relies on exaggerating claims or leaving out key information in order to encourage traffic.

Their wording a bit confusing if you're not reading closely, but their original point still stands. The content is generally good, but the headline is clickbaity.

The headline rarely conveys what you are suggesting.

Just because click bait is common doesn't mean it isn't click bait.
