Why did the moderators change the title from "Felons, addicts, immigrants: This bakery will hire anyone"?



I would assume the moderator disagreed with the premise of lumping those three categories of people together, or that somehow being an addict is as bad as a felon, or vice versa. Really the offensive part is lumping immigrants in there. Additionally, it's sort of a click-bait title because they hire anyone regardless of their background, they aren't specifically seeking these people out.


It seems to me a large amount of titles are edited, usually for the worse.

I understand some more click-bait titles getting changed (though I don't usually agree), but some edits, like this one, are seemingly without reason.
