 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_option/
 `get_option()`] as well, which `is_sticky()` calls.

 By running a filter on that hook, you're filtering an option that's
 storing sticky posts of the `post` post type, not the result of the
 `is_sticky()` function.  There's potential for some unintended
 consequences here when other code is calling `get_option( 'sticky_posts'
 )`.

 While the option and the conditional are related by default, this is not
 necessarily true with custom sticky post implementations.  Sticky posts
 can be stored in a variety of ways.  A filter hook for the conditional
 function makes more sense in those scenarios.
