"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"
Sometimes I hate the whole "proper prose title" that articles use
Edit:
Perhaps it's "Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon".
I didn't read the article. The title broke my brain
Heck, prose aside, is there something wrong with commas?
Those are used to replace "and" obviously.
It's just that punctuation is not meant to be used in titles.
English has a bunch of weird rules.
No? "Book from a whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon ".
Book from a whistleblower, that Meta blocked from being promoted, is now a best seller on Amazon
Book from a whistleblower—which Meta blocked from being promoted—is now a best seller on Amazon.
Meta promotes books?
