  It's one of the clickbaitiest title formulations around. It works amazingly well on a certain type of mindset.

  Good point, and it looks like something that can easily be scraped out. I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

    Maybe we should use some machine learning solution that recognizes phrases that look too much like titles.

      The HN title dataset is public. If anyone can come up with software (ML or otherwise) to detect baity titles and/or debait them, we'd certainly be interested.
