First, I did not make the title, I just linked an article.

Second, I get that you wish people did not use the word "hacker" the way they do, but... isn't it how natural languages work? Words mean what people them for. I wish "crypto" did not mean "cryptocurrencies", butibn many contexts it does. That's life.

Talking about clickbaits, what about linking to your blog everywhere you can? It's completely off topic (the link is about Signal, your blog is about how people misuse a word according to you), but nobody complains, because apparently you thought it was relevant, just like the author thought that calling them "hackers" was fine.
