"PSA: So am I the only one who can stop pretending that these titles aren't annoying?"

How to clickbait title for upvotes:

  1. Put PSA before it and say something which is basically just a popular opinion
  2. Say can we stop pretending that ____, but the blank is also just a popular opinion or very obvious
  3. Put your title as some quote which isn't really from anywhere specific but most people disagree with. Then also disagree with that quote

Anything that has we in the title makes me grumble.

Unpopular opinion but unpopular opinions aren't that unpopular

everyone needs to gtfo with that "PSA", "petition to X", "daily reminder" crap

"public service announcement" - you're an attention seeking nobody. if you feel the need to pretend to be above everyone by claiming your, and only your posts, deserve to be PSA's, your post will be shit, your opinion will be shit, your knowledge of the game is shit, and you're compensating with an eye-catching recognizable title starter that fools the masses into thinking your post deserves more attention than every other when it doesnt

"petition to x" - completely redundant to say this. just write your damn title and post. people will upvote you if they like it, thereby increasing its popularity, exposure and chances of it being a great read

"daily reminder" - so do i expect this post, from you specifically, every single day? or are you just, trying to be funny? were you looking to be different from the scrubs who put PSA before their titles? is your title incredibly bland without this? then it'll get even blander when you even just say you're posting this everyday

Start a sentence that starts with, "When" or "That feel when", then post a random GIF. Relevancy of the GIF to your title doesn't matter at all. It doesn't even have to make sense. [slayer-jinx-wink]

If in gameplay, mention Lee Sin in title. If in M&G, mention Yasuo/how shitty gameplay boards are.

plenty of titles like that get downvoted . most people lack the imagination to make good titles why not let them use generic ones ?

I'm a forum scrub, so forgive me for saying this, but what does PSA stand for?

Wow, I find all of these annoying but not in a million years could I come up with such a witty title to address all three at once. The "Can we stop pretending ___" in particular is particularly annoying.

What's more annoying is post ranting about Boards having certain mentality as single entity, making it sound like the discussed matter is unpopular opinion. While that very post and the post it is response to has several tens of upvotes. Like recently, I started to see that "Boards hate Riot" is getting to be bigger circlejerk than Boards hating on anythng Riot has ever done.
