Weren't your criteria 'not misleading or clickbait'? This doesn't seem to be either. 'Good' opens an even bigger can of worms of title bickering.



The title was misleading. The article is a company profile.


It's a 7k-word piece in the print edition of the Atlantic. You've made the case yourself that titles don't have to be trivially revealing - presumably because 'intellectual curiosity' necessarily involves some actual curiosity.

'Raised on Youtube' might be imperfect on some parameter or another but it's not 'misleading' any more than, I dunno, 'The Power Broker' is a misleading title of a biography. The title it's been replaced with is literalist butchery.
