The part that's flag-worthy is the submitted link label, which is currently "Humble FREEDOM Bundle – HUGE List of Games, 100% to Charity."
The page title is actually "Humble Freedom Bundle (pay what you want and help charity)." Given that, the title you chose is link-bait and/or editorializing.

It's certainly not editorializing -- it clearly states at the top of the page that "100% goes to charity." The list of games is also far greater in size than any other Humble Bundle I've seen, so 'huge' is also accurate. As for the link-bait accusation, it seems to me that the original title was more descriptive than the one you insisted on.
A simple "please use the original title" would have sufficed.

Just the word "huge" would be fairly subjective, but your comment ignores that "HUGE" was in all caps. That makes it seem a lot more like trying to attract attention than any neutral summary of the content.

Humble bundle moved away from "pay what you want" ages ago, into a "here's the minimum you have to pay for the non trash parts of the bundle". I don't really mind then setting a minimum bar - I just fundamentally object to them continuing to claim it's the former.

I think it is quite funny they call it the Humble Freedom Bundle considering this: "Bitcoin payments have been disabled for the Humble Freedom Bundle."

It's 'pay $30 or more' with no other option.
The page title is actually "Humble Freedom Bundle (pay what you want and help charity)." Given that, the title you chose is link-bait and/or editorializing.

To each their own.
Oh how I love freedom.
Impressive.
