Going to be down voted for that but after all those discussions of HN readers it is disappointing to see that click-bait titles works the same here than everywhere else
- bdcravens 6y agoWell site guidelines say to submit the original title, not a clickbait alteration. Mods are good about enforcing that.
- stets 6y agoForgive me -- I really didn't know. I've updated the destination article's title.
- polote 6y agoWait 1 minute for author to update the original title to the click-bait version
- stets 6y agoDone, actually. I just thought it was a good title, did not mean to mislead or direct to something that wasn't relevant.
- _bxg1 6y agoMaybe it's changed, but the title I see doesn't feel clickbait-y. It actually made me think the author was going to have completely failed; I'm glad to see there was some modest success.
- stets 6y agoThanks :-) I think my success is about equal to my work. It is hard to work on something when you're unsure if it will succeed.
- BubRoss 6y agoThey work even better here I would say, people just eat them up. The shorter and more ambiguous the title, the better. No description necessary and you can link straight to a press release.
