No, I don't have Spotify is more memorable.

  And less descriptive. The title "I am cthulhu" is even more memorable, and illustrates why memorability shouldn't be the sole criteria. GP has a good point imo

    Does everything need to be as descriptive as possible? Something should be left for imagination or curiosity.

      I kinda like not having the HN homepage not be lorem ipsum but having some clue of what something is about "everything" obviously goes a bit far, but as a principle, I couldn't imagine it any other way

        For programming, sure. For blog posts, that certainly isn't applicable. It's art just as much as it's tech. If the title is outrageously bad, then it's bad art, or art that isn't in your taste. But we are out of the realm of the objectiveness here.

    It’s on a subdomain. They could very easily make memorizable names for all the different things. “I don’t have Spotify”, “I don’t have Apple Music”, etc. All of those could point to the same tool. That keeps it catchy and accurate to what the user is actually doing.

    It's intriguing. And i suspect the specific audience that doesn't have spotify (and has remembered thinking this phrase/concept) will be the most curious (so, a high correlation with your target). It's exactly why I clicked on it. And it's exactly what I hoped it would be (before having any idea).
