The HN mods typically sanitize titles to match the title of the underlying article. (Except when they don't, of course.) They are generally unwilling to explain themselves, even when their edits are clearly making the title worse.
It's honestly a mystery to me why the system even lets submitters specify titles.
- robbiet480 13y agoThe problem I have is that Stripe, a competitor to Balanced, seems to keep the (YC S) emblem every time they have a story. It feels like YC is trying to hide the fact that Balanced is a YC company I guess. Pair this along with the fact that (IMHO) Balanced is killing it, but I only ever see PR about Stripe (except for a few weeks ago, when Balanced announced a partnership with CoinBase, another YC company) But I could be paranoid.

That doesn't seem to be the case: https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=Stripe&sortby=score+desc&start=0 https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=Stripe...
- icelancer 13y agoI think you are paranoid. I see them both tagged and stripped equally. Just depends on the random whims of the moderators who do not explain themselves at all.
