The article is about what proportion of visitors to Marco's site have HiDPI displays.
I'm not sure it's a requirement just yet. Just because people have a high-DPI display doesn't mean they will reject any site that does not take advantage of it.
Don't get me wrong, you absolutely should. But it's not in the "do or die" territory just yet - us tech types skew these results massively, especially on desktop.
Marco is someone who would say a coffee warming metal pebble is a requirement. Adjust your perspective accordingly.
This three-character fluff title to bait even more clicks to his blog full of void is the final nail to the coffin. In two seconds I can think of a dozen better titles ("Use Analytics to track high-DPI-screens", "Custom variable for high-DPI-screens in Google Analytics", "Look at me I was on the frontpage of Hacker News", "I am so edgy, I will just give my article a nothing-saying three-character title").
The worst part is that due all the attention he gets from this, he and other people will somehow be under the impression that this was a successful endeavor. Bad publicity is publicity too, something like that. Please.
Obviously you've already made up your mind about Marco and consider anything he ever writes to be garbage, but claiming that a title like "and" is click-baiting is completely nonsensical. As is complaining about his writing without even paying the slightest bit of attention to it.

It was even linked in a footnote to the article (if one reads that far).
So the title is intentional, non click-baity and a humourous riposte. Care to change your analysis?
