> What The New York Times Didn’t Tell You
Am I the only one tired of click-bait titles that don't tell you anything about the article? Had to read the comments here to understand what the article was about and decide if it was worth reading.
All it takes is 4 extra words to give the title context:
> What The New York Times Didn’t Tell You [about working at Amazon]

- mlrtime 11y agoIt works, you clicked.
- neoCrimeLabs 11y agoI didn't click into the article, but into these comments.
- srtjstjsj 11y agoHN posted the clickbait title (using its lame rule of cloning the web page title out of context), and you clicked into HN. Ergo, it worked.
- neoCrimeLabs 11y agoBah, you're right. :-)
- dang 11y agoHN's rules explicitly call for changing clickbait titles. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- dang 11y agoWe changed the title to add "about Amazon" and remove the linkbait "you".
