Why the clickbait? Just put why in the title

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It's the title of the article. Should the OP just put whatever they want for a title?

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Yes, appended in square brackets, to indicate that it is not part of the original text.
