    People have limited attention spans and a headline needs to be short and to the point, even if there aren’t any space concerns, or else people won’t read the headline, the gateway to reading the article.

    Basically, you’ve got to get a reaction in about 20 characters or else the rube reader won’t receive programming click / buy / read.

    That doesn’t leave a lot of space for innovation, so the old faithful few are re-used over and over.
