Thread titles show up on forum listings and other aspects of the DU feed. They certainly grab attention but for what purpose? Self-aggrandizement of the writer? This reply title showed up in your feed and you were unable to not read "I CANNOT "NOT READ" THE THREAD TITLE. Is my reply super important? SHOULD I SHOUT MORE?"

Is there something about this "NO REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR INFLATION REDUCTION ACT WHICH WILL CAP DRUG PRICES AT 2K/YR FOR SENIORS IT WAS BIDEN & DEMS" post that I'm missing that makes it more important than the other "No Republicans voted for Inflation Reduction Act which will cap drug prices at 2k/yr for seniors It was Biden & Dems" posts that I've seen?
