Can somebody change the title? It sounds so much like clickbait garbage that pollutes other parts of the Internet.

- FLGMwt 9y agoAppreciate the sentiment but there are literally 35 things to avoid listed and the submission is the same name as the article title.
- aoeuasdf1 9y agoDoes that matter? Is the policy to not change clickbait titles when they are technically correct?
- thedufer 9y ago> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids." > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait. Quoted from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - I think this is pretty clearly a case where it is preferred to not use the original title.
- FLGMwt 9y agoOh man, totally missed that part. For some reason I thought it was preferable to keep original title. /concede
