    Capitalizing all letters only makes sense if you’re quoting an actual news article headline, like from the New York Times or wherever. But capitalizing the first letter of every word makes reading the sentence stilted and hard to read, so should be avoided whenever possible

      if it’s short and not in a sentence format, it makes sense as well. For example, if you’re posting a pet photo, “My Dog is a Doofus” looks weird. but “Cat Burglar” doesn’t.

      Yeah, I agree with you on this. The communities that force the title to be the same as the article are the only places mine are ever capitalized like that. It makes no sense to do that if you’re making a statement or asking a question.
