Isn't the title "12 Gurus Got 5 Questions About How They Set Their Rate"?
- pmjordan 11y agoHN has some form of "no numbers in titles" policy. I'm not even sure list articles are allowed at all.
- SilasX 11y agoRight, but not against the numbers per se (or else it could just be machine-filtered), but about titles artificially framed in the listicle format: >If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
