Title was: "Graphic: Compare all the Tech I.P.O.'s Since 1980 to Facebook's" That seems strictly superior to me. Who's the editor/bot changing every submission

Title was: "Graphic: Compare all the Tech I.P.O.'s Since 1980 to Facebook's"
That seems strictly superior to me. Who's the editor/bot changing every submission titles back to the article title even when it removes (sometimes vital) context?
- jashkenas 14y agoIt wasn't me. I didn't realize that HN had the ability to swap 'em out on you.
- Cushman 14y agoYeah, they'll change 'em sometimes if the title is too linkbaity or editorializing, usually to the title of the original article or blog post. Recently I've seen a few titles being changed to the source title even when the source title is completely unhelpful, leading me to wonder if someone hasn't tried to automate the process a little too effectively.
