I wish HN discouraged clickbait titles, even when the article itself uses that title. One
solution is to append the answer to the original title, separated by a "|", as used by:

For example:
There is a blind spot in AI research | Autonomous systems are already ubiquitous, but there are no agreed methods to assess their effects
If it's interesting, I'll still click.
- ars 10y ago> I wish HN discouraged clickbait titles, even when the article itself uses that title It actually does discourage that, I remember seeing a post from dang saying so.
- goodplay 10y agoI second your proposal. While I never post a comment on an article before reading it, I almost always read the comments before reading the article to avoid click baits. An brief one-line summary that serves the same role as an abstract would eliminate the need to read the comments first. It might even help eliminate clickbaity titles in technical articles altogether.
