Starting off my day with reading this and then reading your story was great. I love a good laugh.
The only thing I can think, ironically enough given that the story is about titles, is the fact that the title suggests yet another story about writing good titles and the limitations of analyzer tools. Personally I love it when I click on something I expect to be serious and practical and find it funny. But my time on Medium is suggesting to me that I might not be typical.
So many those who appreciate the humor never clicked not knowing it was here and those who were looking for straight up information left quickly.
That's my only guess because I loved it.
