I feel this way, posts can be hijacked after becoming trendy to be replaced with ads, or there could be other ways to exploit this. If there was a title in the typo, then it’s easy to delete the post and re-publish it. But what could be use cases of having to edit a post title after publishing? Just add edits in the post body.

What do you think?

    I was on reddit for a long time, and I don’t remember ever being able to edit a title. I don’t know if it ever happened, but it seems like there are better ways to prevent abuse than a total lockdown.

      You were never able to.

      I meant it as in “Reddit never allowed you to edit titles because…”. Not that they retroactively took a decision to stop you from doing it.
