Dude. You are demonstrating, repeatedly, that you do not know how publishing works, have no idea what the different jobs are and why they are different. You display shock and anger at the notion that different people have different roles in which they do different work. This offends you for some demented reason that I do not care about, and you are repeatedly attacking it with insults and invective -- and then when I point this out to you, you are hurt and offended.

This is how the job is done, and there are good reasons, and it works. Since you are a random angry shouty man with a made-up name on the internet, I am not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you, as you will just shout insults at me from behind your silly offensive pseudonym.

You don't understand and it is very clear that you don't want to. You prefer to hide behind a made up name and throw insults.

I am not playing your childish game.

None of this is true. If it was true you could explain how and why and you haven't explained any claim you made.

You display shock and anger

This never happened.

the notion that different people have different roles in which they do different work

You are hallucinating this as some sort of back peddle. It has nothing to do with anything.

Since you are a random angry shouty man

Seems like projection since all your posts are you getting upset instead of being able to back up anything you say.

I am not playing your childish game.

All you ever had to do was explain exactly why this isn't a purposely low information clickbait title and you can't. Instead you try to say there is nothing wrong, which you can't explain, and that it isn't your fault.

I think childish is making up hallucinations about things that don't matter and getting upset instead of giving evidence. I would think someone who "knows so much about publishing" would be able to explain themselves better than making the same claims with no evidence over and over. It's like you have never been challenged before and don't understand what's happening.

WTAF?

> If it was true

Of course it is true. That is why I explained the length of my relevant experience.

> you could explain how and why

Why bother to an annoying troll?

ELI5:

My job is to understand complicated computer stuff and explain it in easy words.

My editor's job is to write headlines that will get people to read what I wrote.

I know the tech. The editor knows the readers.

Of course it is true. That is why I explained the length of my relevant experience.

That's not how things work. It's literally an appeal to authority fallacy.

Why bother to an annoying troll?

That's dismissive, but you've had so many chances and instead of explaining anything you have to resort to insults.

My editor's job is to write headlines that will get people to read what I wrote.

So just admit it's a terrible headline, stop trying to play both sides and say it's fine while also taking no responsibility.

If you want to pin it on your editor, at least admit it's intentional low information clickbait 'journalism'.

If you don't want to admit that then explain how it isn't true.

You can't do any of these things after so many chances and your 'journalism' skills seem like all they have taught you is school yard insults.
