Personally, I _do_ editorialize by posting a “summary” of what a post discusses, if there’s no real title. I try not to make it pass as my own opinion; sometimes it happened that mods reverted it to the original, less relevant title.

The trick is to write the summary from the point of view of the original author, preferably by lifting a quote from the text. https://hackernewstitles.netlify.app/ https://hackernewstitles.netlify.app/ has a recent example "Kevin Scott (MSFT CTO) inviting all Open AI employees to join MSFT" which sounds like the title of a third-party article describing said event, but actually directly points to the Microsoft CTO's tweet with the offer https://twitter.com/kevin_scott/status/1726971608706031670 https://twitter.com/kevin_scott/status/1726971608706031670 so it got edited to a quote "If needed, you have a role at Microsoft that matches your compensation" which is an attempt to summarize the content but doesn't provide additional context so it might be condidered more clickbaity https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38364315 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38364315
