    I'm trying to validate my product. Would you pay me $5/day for an annoying headline? "10 Crazy ways to validate your product for free that startup gurus won't tell you about!" PS: I don't know what the 10 ways are, I just write headlines.

      7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.

> Next it will be "See what crazy change to solar made energy purchasers sit up pay attention!" That is _much_ worse, and I refuse to click on any link with that sort of headline because it's guaranteed to be more ads than content. At least with the original headline I have an idea the topic is solar, and the news is the price falling significantly. Honestly I don't see the problem with the original headline.
