      Lowers the incentive for using outlandish, misleading headlines.

      Forces people to click the link and go to the news outlets’ websites thereby giving local news better ad revenue.

      Increases chances of people actually reading the article instead of making assumptions based on misleading titles.

      Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like a good thing to me.

        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.
