At the end the way they used to. This means Google is trying to algorithmically determine a better title for the post. And those posts will get more priority than long title tags posts. Google is truncating title tags based not only on number of characters, but also on the pixel width of your title tag. So this is looking odd, as well as search engine won�t display these kinds of Blog post title at the top of SERPs. And this problem arises for Long title tags.
