Google: We Do Not Have A Bad Title Algorithm Filter Of Sorts

Google’s John Mueller clarified that there is no blacklist or filter that penalizes sites solely for having poorly written title tags. He explained that the title displayed in search results is often generated automatically from a variety of signals, not just the HTML element. While irrelevant or misleading titles can affect relevance signals, they do not trigger a punitive removal from the index. Consequently, title changes may not appear immediately in SERPs as Google evaluates multiple factors before updating the displayed title.
