I like the today I learned posting bot. I'm frustrated with the frequency that it employs clickbait titles. Is that something we could fix? I've gone through a long process of removing clickbait from my life, and I'd love to avoid clickbait here if possible.

I blocked that bot. Couldn’t stand seeing post after post of random articles with no replies, plus I’m doubtful how much the bot itself is actually learning.
