Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Maybe they should compete directly most places. Maybe that’s the problem. πŸ€”

Things always get better when they get bought up by a giant conglomerate, that's what I always say. /S

The only solace is that wireless operators are becoming competitive for me. Like all these companies suck but now I can use Cox, AT&T, EarthLink as the mediocre to crappy wired options and then Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile for 5G internet options which are good enough for me
