As the wikipedia article cites peer reviewed study (see study tab) that even though these kind of headlines make up only ~ 2 % of all hesdlines 44 % of them answer “yes”, and only 22 % answer “no” with the rest being indecisive.
I think their point is that this stupid internet meme based off of a random tech writer - akin to Cory Doctorow’s “enshittification” - is not even backed up by its own citation
I think studies that look at the article’s response are going to give a very different outcome than the real world result. The heuristic exists because a lot of news is overhyped halfsense trying to generate clicks (or draw eyeballs in the pre-digital world). So even if the article suggests a yes answer, a no outcome is still probably more likely.
So your answer is “Yes”?

Great thing to say for redditors who have zero original thoughts and cannot contribute to any topic in depth
