Title mocks WaPo, don't take it too seriously.
- codezero 5y agoWhy does it mock WaPo?
- jimbob45 5y ago“Democracy dies in darkness” is their main slogan.
- jacquesm 5y agoMostly to drive subscriptions.

- jacquesm 5y agoNo isn't good enough here. Their whole 'Democracy dies in darkness' thing happened in sync with a huge push to get people to subscribe. Now that may be coincidence but I highly doubt it was.

- codezero 5y agoThat doesn’t explain how this is mocking them by just reusing it.
- tessierashpool 5y agowhat degree of seriousness would be excessive for "democracy dies in darkness"?
- Fidelix 5y agoThat's a good thing in my book.
- InvaderFizz 5y agoI agree with the mocking and immediately understood the reference. I was saying it's unfortunate because as a headline on HN, it lacks what I would call critical info to get people interested in clicking and reading. I think it could get real traction on HN if there were a blog post on Brave summarizing the paper in a few paragraphs with a title something closer to: Goggles: User Generated Search Rankings and Filters that you can subscribe to.
