A very brief look at the HN homepage tells me this is not the reason.
- 1337biz 8y agoI have had countless times these problems with the hn character limit. It is really tricky deciding which words to cut out or how to reframe titles when the hn limit sets in. Somebody is always going to be unhappy (if the submission ever makes it ot the front page).
- hk__2 8y agoBut the original title doesn’t even come close to the character limit. "How the EU will force all artists to use Youtube, forever" is 57-characters-long while the submission limit is 80. A quick look at the current homepage shows that exactly a third of its titles (10 out of 30) are longer than 57 characters.
