This title is starving for your clicks. Here's an accurate and honest title that represents this article:

84 Year Old Gamer has 900k+ Online Followers on YouTube.

It's not really hard to strive for honest titles, but I guess clicks matter in desperate times for the New York Times. What a shame for journalism there.

I don't know about you but having the word in inverted commas made me think it was talking about YouTube subscribers almost instantly.

OP here. Title I posted:

>84-year-old gamer Shirley Curry has 900k YouTube followers

I suspect if moderator hadn’t changed title to New York Times headline, it wouldn’t have been flagged.
