clickbait works, actual title doesn’t, solution?

• dang 5y ago
  One way is to find a better article on the topic. If it's an important topic, there is surely more than one gateway into it. Conversely, if there's literally only one article available on a topic, the odds that it's both on topic for HN and has a clickbait title are maybe relatively low. Another approach is to post a first comment to the thread, explaining what you think is significant in the article. That can help.
