Depends. In the job I did for the better part of 30 years it's draw them in with you headline and keep them with your intro. It's business as usual with journalism, which may be one of the reasons why I'm opposed to that rule.
I understand the benefits when you're trying to make a buck, but it doesn't add up when you play it out here.
Guy sees a headline in the checkout line: "Oh man, I need to read this!" He buys the mag and is dissapointed, but his money's spent either way.
Guy sees a headline on a link: "Oh that's juicy!" Clicks through and is dissapointed, but the ads already pay for the click.
AF member sees a headline: "I'm not sure what this is about, but I'll click through to see if it's something I want to contribute to" Clicks through and is dissapointed... leaves without contributing and only wasting their time. Poster doesn't benefit.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
