> Also, we've found that when a title is gratuitously numerical, it makes for worse discussion. Why? I don't know. This is interesting and an example of this happened recently in a post that ended up on the front page with 50+ comments. It was titled "100k+ page views a month for $5 with a self-hosted static site". I chose that title because it kind of sets the stage of what to expect (a small / medium tier site being hosted cheaply) but it did bring in a number of comments where some people dropped in with "but that's only 0.04 posts per second, anything could host that!" which kind of detracts from the content of the submission which had nothing to do with saying those numbers are impressive in any way. It's definitely a tricky balance and is so context specific. I think that post without the numbers wouldn't have gotten much engagement because "How I build, deploy and host my static site" isn't that interesting at a glance and I wonder if you came to the same conclusion because the title wasn't edited other than capitalization.
