The omitted word "These" at the front seems important

  "Plausibly Deniable Clickbait"

  It was probably removed by the automatic filter of titles in HN. If you send an email to the mods hn@ycombinator.com they will probably fix it.

    As the OP, I can confirm it was automatically removed. I stuck to the HN guidelines and did not editorialise the title.

      Thanks! Sorry the software got it wrong in this case. It's ok to click 'edit' and fix it when that happens.

  Yes, the software clips most leading "this" and "these" because it's such a common clickbait device. Unfortunately sometimes the result is worse. I've reworded it to make sense without resorting back to "these".
