I object to the clickbait-ish nature of the title. Titles should provide a summary, not a teaser.

- Analemma_ 8y agoI'll be sure to let Bill Gates know you disapprove of his blog titles, next time we're hanging out.
- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoBased on currently wide-spread practices, IMO it's quite reasonable to assume that this is click-bait verbiage, not the title of a post from a well-known author. Because of that, I think it would make sense to find different wording for the HN title.
- rapnie 8y agoI've seen so many of these kinds of titles and notice that they now have the opposite effect on me. They create an unconscious 'click aversion'. I usually just skip over them automatically. But it was the 9 upvotes and 8 comments in [new] category that drew me in :)
