HN without headlines are Image boards like 4Chan, I guess. Those boards are very engaging and people commenting tend to to have an idea about the stuff they post about - albeit in 4Chan's case a lot of the times can be toxic. Despite the notoriety of the communities of these website, the format seems to have some benefits.

- nkozyra 3y ago"if we show less information maybe people will be curious and click (and get the same information)" isn't passing a logic smell test. I think the ulterior motive was to reduce clicking away.
