Honestly, editorializing link titles is just...tacky. The least you can do for content creators is to link them accurately.

- spudlyo 16y agoI wonder if this story would have seen daylight with the headline "Kickstarting your marketing". The headline is an editorial decision that you, the HN submitter, get to make, and I disagree that it is always tacky -- although I won't argue this particular case. Novum may not have respected the author's link title, but he did help popularize his content.
