Not that I'd downvote, but sometimes headlines are stupid clickbait. I don't see a problem in users increasing headlines. I know it's against rules, but as long as it improves the experience, I'll back them.

The problem is "increasing" is subjective so it can quickly lead to editorialising. One persons improvement is anothers tub thumping.

What if you're de-editorialising the original headline, often times titles are amped up for SEO/clickbait reasons on sites while the article (which is written by a different person) may be quality content.

I get your point, but IM(notso)HO I think I do better than an editor paid for clicks. I'll revise titles whenever I find I'd be more objective. Not the other way.
