The current HN title ("2.4M person study: Internet use boosts, not hurts, well being") seems a bit of a stretch with regard to causation.
- gumby 2y agoBecause the title itself was clickbaity (“surprise effect”) I tried to summarize both title and subtitle. I think I did ok in that regard, but as you say the two sentences could themselves overstate things. But I figured any more edit would get into the discouraged editorializing
- michelsedgh 2y agoSo it was two clickbaity titles and you summarized them both into one very more clickbaity title. Good job
- gumby 2y agoThank you. It seemed the most consistent with the HN title “rules”.
