- ronjouch 10y agoAlright, thanks for pointing to them. - This guideline feels a wee bit sad, because editorializing can be valuable (a title might be crystal clear in context but nonsensical once pulled out of it). - But I understand how we generally don't want it as it might lead to linkbaiting and misrepresenting the original title.
- k__ 10y agoAlso, didn't they change some titels to less click-baity titles in the past?
- spiderfarmer 10y agoStill happens, I saw it happen the day before yesterday. I kind of like the fact that the title on HN is specific and to the point.
