Indeed the list is far too long. So much so that, assuming it would be but seeing how short each item is I tried to stay interested and read through it all… and bailed about 1/4 through.
That said, IMO this is also a clear case where HN’s title editing is misleading. A common format for this might present somewhere between 5 and 20 facts, and someone familiar with these edits would likely assume that. Seeing the actual title made it feel as if the edited one is, in reality, the true clickbait.
- dgb23 5y agoI get why titles get edited, but I think it’s condescending, even if well meaning.
