I like putting the name of publications in post titles to highlight where the article is coming from. Is this dumb? Should I stop doing this?

Title. I post a few links a day here on Beehaw, and I like to try and highlight the source of the article in the title. My thinking is that if someone scrolls past quickly without reading deeply, they will at least see the name of the publication and that is a small bit of grassroots advertising. I tend to post articles from smaller indie publications, so I want to do whatever I can to signal boost them.

Is this dumb? Is it annoying in some way? I know on web and on most apps, the URL is visible on the post, but i'm not sure everyone scrutinizes posts as closely as I do. IDK, just wanted to bring it up with the community and hear your thoughts.
