Are post titles broken?

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.
