Reddit prompts you to submit as a link or as a text post--if you submit as a link, it's the website link that appears in the sub feed with no text in the post, if you submit as text, you can put the link in the text, but in r/baltimore, the thread title link is to the thread itself (also, that's why there's no automod comment about the banner's paywall).

Also, z3 linked the duplicate post but yours was first, which is why the other was locked.
