I see a lot of posts like this where the title is truncated. Clicking on the title in an app/browser just seems to take you to the link, so I have no idea what the full title actually says.

This appears to be a bug, unless I'm missing something?

Posts have a character limit and these shitty bots keep shoving the article contents into the title clogging up everyone's feeds.

That makes sense. If the submission title itself is truncated when posted, that's a major facepalm.

There's likely a limit on title length. And that's reasonable, too. Who would want a screen full of title?

That would totally be fair, but then the limit should prevent them from submitting a cut off title in the first place? I think BigFig above might be right about these being bot submissions.
