Link share no longer populates the title field, at least with some links
I know that everything on Reddit is dependent on which platform you're on, and I use mobile web.
The link share auto-populate feature, meaning the one where you paste into the link posting field so it automatically populates a title into a title field, has been flaky for quite a while. This is actually a very useful feature for people who forward a lot of music because an artist/title kind of thing can be pretty lengthy so it's great when read it automatically populates it from the link, which is pretty standard for the internet these days anyway.
For a really long time this feature wasn't cooperating with YouTube from mobile web- the only thing it would populate from the title is the word "YouTube-" (this seems to be fixed right now for me as I successfully posted a link without without having to fix the title manually)
Right now it seems to be broken for other link types. I tried to post continent from a couple of independent websites and the title Auto populate no longer works.
