    Old title was better

    Which may be the most click-baity post-edit title I've ever seen on HN. Not a good look when there is a conflict of interest here.

  I posted it, I'm aware of the rules about titles, but honestly I thought my title was way more clear about what the story was. In retrospect I should have called it "Tell HN: YC is asking for a bailout", think that would have been fair. The fact that it's been edited here is not cool with me, especially as the story is unfavorable to YC (though I certainly believe readers are smart enough to draw their own conclusions)

    I think it was maybe the fastest rising post I’ve ever seen. That was solely because of the title.
