MODERATORS
Being fooled by Twitter users is worse as they can link to reputable sources (that usually wouldn't post clickbait/bad headings). There's also little incentive for twitter users to not post misleading headlines, while (some) journalists/news sites are trying to build a reputation of reputability. Yes, it would be solved by clicking the article, but you shouldn't have to click every article to make sure the poster isn't lying about the content.
