Is it used to make headlines/posts more catchy? Does it have any logical explanation?

What Is The Origin Of That?

    I have read that it was influenced by German capitalization rules; all nouns are capitalized in German. But I never checked if that’s true.

      It is true. All nouns and of course the first word after beginning a new sentence are capitalised.

        Oh, my bad, I have indeed confirmed that all nouns are capitalized in German… what I meant is that I’m not sure if that’s the reason why English also does it (sometimes).

        But thanks for the *confirmation! :)
