I like the idea of respect where this comes from, but I think that titles have been perverted by SEO way too much and at some point I need writers to stop trying to lure me for my own good.

Descriptive titles have their place, but so do titles that arouse curiousity and need you to read TFA.

I hate clickbait, but this doesn't look like this one is, because it's not misleading, it's not trying to hide something to get you to click, and does not lure you with information that's not in the article.
