I prefer to surface key data from article right upfront. WP title felt constructed to create a sense of clickbaity drama


Its not about preferences, editorializing titles is not within the rules:

" If the title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize. "
