Yeah, that's the HN "anti-clickbait" feature that (amongst others) removes the "How" from titles like "How we managed to run Doom on a mechanical typewriter", but in this case it doesn't make sense at all...
- Archer6621 9mo agoIf anything, it made it more clickbait-y due to being an unusual title.
- dang 9mo agoYes, it's imperfect that way.
- sph 9mo agoHow does removing the word "how" make a title less of a clickbait? "I made 40,000 dollars in a week with one simple trick" is exactly as bad as "How I made 40,000 dollars in a week with one simple trick"
