I submitted with original title, per HN guidelines.

  But "unless it is misleading or linkbait"

    Correct. The full guideline is "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html In this case the original title is linkbait, so we changed it.

      No problem, and we appreciate your moderation. However, this wasn't an obvious case of "linkbait" and it's from the New Yorker, a respectable publication known for its evenhandedness and scrupulous fact-checking. And the original title is accurate as stated. Jonathan Haidt really does want parents to take their kids smartphones away.

        I agree, it wasn't an obvious case - more of a borderline call - you didn't do anything wrong, and I'm sorry if it sounded like I was implying that.
