This is being downvoted because it is a grammatical correction which is wrong.

It's not a wrong grammatical correction though:

it's: short for "it is".

its: possessive version of "it". E.g. its worse -> worst belong to "it"

"its" is not the problem, the word "worse" is incorrect.

EDIT: The original misguided pedant has now changed "worse" to "worst" in both instances; after downvoting me, of course.
