Why are science news’ articles’ titles so hyperbolic?

When you are scrolling on your phone or on your computer and come across some article with a ridiculous title or an ellipsis, they are trying to get you to click on their content. It is annoying to me. I purposefully will not click on content that is just straightforward and without a title which contains a cliffhanger. Good heavens. Perhaps I should have written the title of this post as the following to get more clicks on my content:

“Why are science news’…”

I guess there might be middle ground it appears in this regard, right!? 🙂
