Hacker news is swamped with clickbait, I appreciate anyone trying to clean it up. Unfortunately people seems to love it and the short title lengths seem designed for it.
- pvg 3y agoI'm not sure how this is related to the questions raised in this thread. And you can email bad titles in and they get fixed. Titles get fixed on many articles every single day.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoThis was a bad title that got fixed.
- pvg 3y agoNot by HNs long-standing rules of titlery, as I’ve explained and you can also see from the years of mod commentary linked above.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoThat would mean that any clickbait title that has detail added is somehow wrong and bad by your definition.
- pvg 3y agoNo because clickbait titles should be changed on submssion by a subtitle or other representative language from the article. That's also in the site guidelines and numerous moderation comments. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20representative%20language&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
