Sorry to suggest something you explicitly didn't ask for, but the problem is definitely the article to begin with. This is in a similar category as troll-bait; obnoxious behavior is guaranteed. An obvious but simple solution: an algorithm that punishes link titles that contain certain names. I propose:
- Steve Jobs
- Elon Musk
- Jack Dorsey
- Melissa Mayer
- Sheryl Sandberg
- Zuckerberg
- Etc.
In many genres the fetishization of individuals leads to lowest-common-denominator crap like this. Reminds me of "great man" history theories.
