Can a good headline contain a pronoun?

My criteria for 'good' here is "not linkbait"
I'd like to avoid all kinds of useless linkbait articles in my various social feeds, ("This guy does blah...", "She comes on stage and smeh...") and it seems like the simplest way might be just to filter anything that has a pronoun in it, but I don't want to miss anything that might contain genuine content.
Are there circumstances where a pronoun is relevant in an article headline?

My original thought was "Of course a good headline can have a pronoun," but wow, a bit of research shows having any pronouns in headlines is actually quite rare.
