Blogger quietly wonders why the word "quietly" is being quietly used in so many fucking headlines.

I found this article, from seven fucking years ago, when I did a Google search for "why is the word quietly used in so many headlines" just now.

"It will be interesting to see whether or not tech news sites decide to tone down their usage of 'quietly' in headlines after this analysis."

Seven years later, it is safe to say that, no, they goddamn did not. And it's not just "tech news sites" doing it now, either.
