That's the title from the website...

Yes, in a reddit post from one week prior in the same subreddit. OP is reposting. If you would care to examine the hyperlink, you would notice the above commenter is pointing out the original post that traffic should be directed to and not the bbc article. Basic technical literacy, like being able to distinguish between a reddit link and the content it links to is an essential skill.

Thanks, I upvoted that post and down voted the repost. I hate it when people do this. Yes I wouldn't have seen it otherwise, but I've seen several other subs spammed by dozens of duplicate posts (last one I monitored got up to about 50, I tagged the reposters in a comment on the actual first post. I know that sounds excessive on my part but by that point I'd gotten annoyed by the stupidity and wanted to shame some people.) It takes less than a minute to review the sub you're cross posting to. There are even websites that will tell you if something has been posted before.
