Sure, I could. But I wanted to leave the original post as it was for transparency. I figured that was the most "open" thing to do.

You can edit titles on Lemmy, make say "BS journalists throwing google under the bus to get more ad revenue from google ads."

Fair enough, but reading the comments it appears your edit isn’t explicit enough, or people just read the headlines I guess.
