"Share" link should not include article title

Today, when you try to “Share” a story from newsblur, it copies 1) the title of the story 2) the URL of the story.

However, most modern platforms (imessage, signal, messenger, discord, etc etc etc) will unfurl the URL to show you… the title of the story. So the content of the message you have just shared is, "Saw this and thought of you: Bean dad spills all https://www.badpost.com/url/bean-dad-spills-all [Unfurled frame] Bean dad spills all
Discord:

Messenger:
IMG_7007

More than 90% of the time I end up removing the title from the paste, or I open the story in the browser to copy the URL as a standalone before sharing it.

It would be cool if only the URL was copied to the clipboard instead of the URL and the title.
