The title was actually copied directly from the article. I completely agree that the title appears to be linkbait, but the blame should be placed on the editor and/or author of the post, not the poster.
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoThe editor/author created the title to be sensationlist on purpose. HN is, I hope, not here to offer sensational headlines merely to grab extra viewers but as a way to share knowledge, information and wisdom. We should have higher standards for titles here IMO. What I'd like to see is a subtitle (or tagging) system with a descriptive subtitle that can't be applied by the poster only by someone else. Poor subtitles would be downmodded too.
