While I agree its not adding anything, I don’t get why one gets upset about titlecase for blog post titles. I mean its not like something making it less readable or less indexable or anything like that. So why even ask to stop doing it? Or does it do any harm I’m not aware off (even if its for readable reasons in your opinion). I personally prefer normal case for titles as well, but that is just a preference of mine, not because I see any benefit in doing so.
If they were, “are”, “of” and “and” likely wouldn’t be capitalized.
Also, “the actual grammar rules” are not a thing. There are lots of different style guides for how to capitalize titles, there’s no generally accepted “correct” version like there is for most of orthography or regular grammar (but almost all of them have in common to not capitalize the words I mentioned before)
Can We Please Stop Editorial Capitalising Titles - It Is Super Annoying And Adds No Value Nor Does It Make Your Blog More Distinguished.

It’s annoying to read. That’s why.
Sure, I would understand it if its longer text.
But it’s a title…
I honestly hadn’t even noticed, so I’m surprised it bothered you so much. But I guess I get grumpy about other random bullshit sometimes…
Totally weird possibility: the author is following the actual grammar rules for capitalization of titles.
