- IvyMike 12y agoI'll agree we usually don't like changed headlines here on HN. But on the other hand, when you say "title is misleading", well, I'm not sure how--in the end, both the original and the revised headlines mean the same thing to me.
- akerl_ 12y agoThere's a very different connotation. It's the difference between telling somebody they're wrong and telling them that their idea won't work. You may mean the same thing, but for the audience it sounds very different.
- lesserknowndan 12y agoHow about: "YouTube reaffirms what YouTube employee told Zoe Keating was incorrect"
- dang 12y agoWe reverted it. (Submitted title was "YouTube Reaffirms Zoe Keating Is Incorrect".) Submitters: please use the original title unless it is linkbait or misleading: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
- IvyMike 12y agoThis is super nitpicky but I feel bad for OP. Just in case you missed his comment: technically, the submitter did use the original title as marked by the <title> tags. It's just that the headline (as marked by <h1>) is different than the title in this case.
- dang 12y agoI did miss it, so thanks for the tip. Either way is fine.
- antimora 12y agoThe title of HTML page says "YouTube Reaffirms Zoe Keating Is Incorrect". I used it because it was shorter.
- dang 12y agoThat's fine. Sorry you ran into the dreaded title fever.
