    fwiw when I said “OG title” I was not referring to “original” (or “original gangsta”), but “open graph”. The OG Title is a tag they put on the page that causes social media sites to pick up that as the “title”. It may or may not have actually been the original title of the article itself. But if it wasn’t ever the original title, then using OG Title in this way is basically their way of having it both ways: they get to claim the article itself has a title with integrity, while also ensuring all social media links are as clickbaity as possible.
