It's nice that they change linkbait titles to accurate ones.

Yes, and if that's all that happened, I doubt most people would complain. The problem is when more accurate / descriptive titles get changed to ones that are less representative of what the linked content is actually about. And yes, this absolutely does happen.

From what I've seen, it's usually the opposite. A fairly neutral, descriptive title is changed to the linkbait article title.
