HN meta comment:
Once again, the title has been (ungrammatically) editorialized with a question mark. It would appear that this is HN editorial staff policy[1]
What is the purpose of this policy, and in particular what criterion is being applied here, that does not apply to (e.g.) the (considerably more subjective) title "McDonald's holds communities together" which remains un-editorialized on the front page of HN?
I am similarly curious about the difference between "Apple News No Longer Supports RSS"[2] and "Google bans niche browsers from Gmail"[3] (to my eyes they are virtually identical submissions - third party forum-based verifications of changed behavior of Big Five software).

- ebcode 7y agoThe question mark is absolutely unnecessary, and gives credence to the idea that the site admins are somehow biased in Google's favor. I would like to see this stop as well?
