> Just because I said your headline is unoriginal...doesn't mean you have to rubber band reflex the other direction that "I MUST BE A LIAR!!!" as the only explanation. I only got to that point when you gave a claim you would not back up, not because of your "headline is unoriginal" opinion. To answer your opinion, look at my archive [1]. I have some original titles: * "Your Loved Ones Are Prisoners, and You Made the Chain" * "The Scourge of 00UB" * "Head in the Hurricane: Securing a Web Server" The one thing those headlines have in common is that they did not go viral. Sure, a headline may be unoriginal, but if it gets more people to read it than an original headline does, why wouldn't I do that? I think my writing deserves reading more thwn it deserves original headlines. [1]: https://gavinhoward.com/archive/ https://gavinhoward.com/archive/
