This is yet another title change that removes context and makes it less difficult to understand why I want to read the article or comments. I really wish there was something beyond a mechanical "original titles only beep boop robot here" method for article titles.
- dang 12y agoIt might help to consider the domain name part of the title. When I read this one that way, it doesn't seem to me to lack context. I understand why the title changes sometimes seem mechanical, but in reality that is far from the case. Sample bias plays a huge role here, and rightly so, because titles and title edits shouldn't be the locus of attention. Unfortunately, though, when most of the data goes unnoticed, the remaining sliver of cases creates a misleading picture. I'm not sure what we can do about this.
