I see "5 reasons to love this post" ^^:

  1. it's concise
  2. there's an emoji
  3. the title contains "clickbait" so it's not misleading
  4. the tags "beginners" and "tutorial" are appropriate
  5. it highlights a common concern

Pfff, terrible advice.

You missed 💥 and "that you never seen before".

Also, if you are giving advice on this, where is your JavaScript tag? How are people going to see your clickbait title in the feed without the only tag that works on the site? 🤣

On a serious note...yes, yes and yes!

May I ask, was there one post that set you off / tipped you over the edge?
