I (/We ?) must admit that your post becomes super sexy with just some words in the title:
Top
Best
Must
...
But, please, remove them or use normal ones:
My
My team
My company
Some company
Many thanks.

There are even more titles to grab your attention, and I cringe when I see this titles. But every post is just a personal list which is a subset of what we already know from awesome lists on GitHub. (There is an awesome list for awesome lists)
And everybody knows that top 7 posts of dev.to are just discussions and I personally witnessed that. When I posted a non-technical discussion oriented post, it reached a lot of engagement within a short time (half of my total reactions for one post). And all my other posts are just dead.
Honestly I suck at coming up with catchy titles and instead I tend to make it a summary of my post. But who cares?
Sometimes there are "list of collections", or just another approach to PR something (they may own that one ๐ท)
Absolutely, we MUST use "STOP USING..." ๐คฃ
I HAVE AN IDEA ๐ก
Should we either BAN those posts or REMOVE those killing words from the titles ?
Instead, we will build the lists, TOGETHER !
It's called "SEO" (Search Engine Optimization).
A good SEO title has a sentiment element in it.
I don't see anything wrong with using those words, as long as you provide helpful content and it's just not click-bait.
Yeah, I know, your words really come from the point of a non-tech person.
But, I really hate advertising stuff.
Always get tempted to use those words.....๐
