- dang 10y agoIt's a category error to conflate article titles and website names, but I'll play along. Misleading? Arguably, but I don't think it's much of a stretch from "Hacker News" to "news for hackers" to "anything that good hackers would find interesting", which is the mandate of the site (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Linkbait? I doubt it, but I'm biased.
