Original title of the post in case some mad hero actually makes this: Combat clickbait by making a tool that automatically censors every headline/video title/etc

Let's just be honest, nobody reads articles anymore*, they only read headlines and share from there. I'll out myself. I panic-share first, fact-check later. I try to catch myself and actually read, but sensationalism is effective at triggering flight-or-fight responses. So we attack the problem at its source.

Some plugin, tool, or whatever obtains the headline/summary/title, and replaces it with just a single topic word. So like you at least have a rough idea of what you're getting into, but you're forced to approach it with curiosity.

• (or IDK maybe it was always that way, but I'm not old enough to have seen little Timmy going "extra extra" on the streets to know if it was like this even back then)
