I find io9's hyperbolic headlines really off-putting. Maybe my Britishness coming through.

Agreed -- as with pretty much every site these days.

I generally tend to just roll my eyes at the headlines and look at the content to decide whether an article on any given site deserves my attention. If so, I read on, if not I click "close". I do most of my surfing on a desktop, which makes that easy. But if I only accessed the Internet via smartphone, I'd be a hell of a lot more selective.
