re: #264 BigPapa

I think it’s an algorithmic issue. For the last several months I’ve seen nutter stories aggregated on Yahoo. I think Google and Yahoo try to direct like news items to users, and they in turn forward the articles.

I understand it is an algorithm and somehow takes into account how much an article is read, which places it on their front page although how they know that I don’t know.

However that doesn’t explain how the very obvious actual article heading gets changed, when any software parser can get it from the actual article.
