We need a “Getting to the bottom of one of the internet’s most ridiculously designed title fonts.”

It didn't ask me to sign in, probably because of ublock origin, but none of the pictures loaded. Crappy platform.

Why is it always Medium that's blamed for this but not mainstream news websites? I'm pretty sure I've been paywalled by sites like NYT yet people keep posting links to them.
Because Medium used to promise it would never do this.

It's hilarious. I've just learned a bit of Cyrillic during holidays, and even I can hardly stop reading it as "OpeZego" and so on. It must be almost unreadable for people from the many countries with a Cyrillic alphabet.

#17Please don’t editorialize titles, four out of five times the editorialized title is strictly worse, and often it’s straight up wrong , like in this case. If you don’t like the original title due to omission of info, you can at least use the HTML title: > wikiHow’s art is made by a global network of freelancers, primarily in the Philippines. (Emphasis mine.)
OP's headline saves you a click, versus the original title: "We Finally Figured Out Who Makes wikiHow’s Bizarre Art"

Yeah, if you saved that click you also got the wrong idea. I even proposed a better official title. Makes me wonder if you read my comment at all.

I know editorializing is against the rules but I love the current title, "WikiHow's bizarre art is created by an army of freelancers in the Philippines", it sounds so quaint and absurd.
