    It’s not exclusive to redditors.

    It’s bad journalism anywhere and should be criticized as such.

      It literally doesn’t matter and quite honestly I’m tired of hearing about it

      it is not bad journalism though, there is a big difference between trying to increase your clickthrough and bad journalism, it doesn’t change the meaning of the title when you say slam vs saying criticize, putting more exciting words in the titles you could maybe make an analogy to all the YouTubers who started making Mr Beast face in the thumbnail, the video or in this case the article is the same, they are just trying to get a higher click through rate and I really can’t blame them, they are not making money hand over fist doing this
