After refreshing, the order and highlights and strikethroughs changed
In this case, it was easy to find the correct title:

Yes, this is correct. And the strikethroughs only happen when comparing it to the first option. The first option is always random and then the strike through shows you what the differences are between the first option and any other option that’s available.
I usually am ignoring the strikethroughs and turning that off unless it’s something super subtle that I can’t tell what the difference is. It’s nice for some small spelling errors but larger efforts to reword a title or description usually it’s better to have it off to figure out which one is better.
This came up multiple times recently that some people thought the original was always first, so I thought I would do a PSA post =)
Ty for the extra input. I also turn the differences off to actually read the edit after seeing basically where the difference is. Good point to include!
It is not instinctive to use.
I have a dyslexic brain. It used to be bad enough trying to figure out what had changed - I would spend ages re-reading some edits
But the appearance of the strikethrough and colours is unreadable so yes I switch it off and then on again if I am struggling to play find the difference.
I personally turn off the differences from time to time, as having the strikethrough makes it a bit confusing for me. Especially when one choice is short and another is long, I can see both better, especially the shorter one, without the strikethroughs.
And yes, the strikethrough will be random if you refresh the page.
