Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can’t edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.

    This makes me realize that Reddit development got stale, this should have been an updated feature years ago.

      They, like Twitter, had good reasons for not allowing it, such as the risk of users editing posts after the fact, and the risk of abusing that privilege to scam other users, so on.

      But their development did get stale some years back, and they probably know it, given that Reddit started chasing trends and implementing mostly-unwanted features some probably when they started focusing on trying to keep users on the site, and adding things like image/video uploading (which probably did terrible things to their development costs).
