minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·5 months agoIf 19% don’t care, then it is acceptable to them. They are not upset it happened, they accept it.

So if you want to be pedantic, email the person (or ai) that generated the headline. But 60% didn’t have a problem with it.
