It's always interesting to note editorialized headlines. People "fleeing" Instagram, or "scrambling", or covid "surging", etc. When they could just provide the data about how many users are leaving and let the data speak for itself.
Whether there's even any data behind this or if it's an article based on a handful of random tweets who knows, as it's a pay-walled article.
On a meta level, what percentage of HN readers are paying for a subscription to the washington post? Why are links to paid articles even allowed when the vast majority of readers won't even have access to read it?
- foundart 2y ago> Cara founder Jingna Zhang said the app has grown from about 40,000 users to 650,000 in the past week

- hu3 2y agoI wonder if it is it allowed to complain about the rules. Admins seems to be quite open and helpful from what I saw.
- throwup238 2y agoWorst case scenario someone flags your posts. Go nuts with it.

- Larrikin 2y agoI wonder what percentage of HN posts have someone complaining about the headline of an article instead of it's contents.
- jjtheblunt 2y agoyou spelled "its" wrong. :)
- matthewsinclair 2y agoWell played, sir. This comment is peak HN. You have nothing more you need to do today. Give yourself a pat on the back and head home.
- jjtheblunt 2y ago:). sometimes things are too funny here, i must confess.
- rudy6912 2y agoYou miscapitalized "s" and "i". :)
- jjtheblunt 2y agoI did! :)
- bediger4000 2y agoI subscribe to WaPo, but the latest editor changes are making me leery. I'm keeping an eye on the slant of their political coverage, and I'm ready to unsubscribe.
- barryrandall 2y agoI wonder what the average rank of the most popular comment complaining about the headline is.
