This one isn't clickbait, so probably not.
He complains that losing the "Copy, Acquire, Kill" context hurts the people who never read the post(??), which is a tad rich considering his post's success hangs on aggregators like HN.
But I'm guessing he's really salty that his breathless exaggeration "How Meta could pull off the most extraordinary pivot in tech history" was changed to something that's actually descriptive of the piece.
- jayveeone 3y agoHey author here. Couple of things: 1. I omitted the Copy, Acquire, Kill part of the title. And while I often do complain about my own actions, I did not in this situation. 2. I'm always salty! :) Less so with Hacker News. I was exaggerating in my writing to show the silliness of trying to convince people to write while highlighting the parts that make writing less fun. Though I concede that sarcasm often does me no favors. Ultimately, my beef with my favorite news agg is the lack of editorial note when they change a post title.
