So is it the mods who are editing titles of articles to be more sensational and clickbait-y? Because this happens all the damn time, flagging does nothing, etc.

In many cases yes. I don't know if it's an automated or manual process (it seems to happen less when the US is asleep, so I suspect it's manual?), but generally if you submit a link with a title edited to be less sensational and clickbait-y it gets changed to the linked article title.
