    I feel it actually creates an incentive for the tweeter to create their own outlandish and missing headline. So it’s even worse. Plus it will be harder to determine if you’ve already read the article as the description is likely to be different most times when you see the article posted by different people.

      Even if they do, the actual title is just a click away.

      And I agree that it would make things less convenient, but honestly I absolutely hate news articles on social media because the algorithms literally mostly show you what they know you’ll find controversial. I believe that’s had a giant role with the radicalization of people over the last several years. So if it’s inconvenient, good! People shouldn’t really be getting their news from social media anyway.
