When choosing titles for my own submissions, yeah, the accurate title that HN says they desire gets no votes whatsoever. Any clickbait on here, people bring upon themselves (and this isn't even a clickbait-level title)
- delusional 3y agoI don't want accurate titles because they'll make me vote for it. I want accurate titles because it helps me determine if I'll read it BEFORE clicking it. The whole point of accurate titles is that you'll get less votes on uninteresting content.
- Aachen 3y agoBut if the title requires you to click, and then you find out it's uninteresting, why'd you upvote at that point? It shouldn't get your vote at all then, having wasted your time
