- brettermeier 2y agoDo you have examples where it's good to cut out "how" from the title? I can't believe that it's helpful.
- gostsamo 2y agoThis is intended to hobble clickbite titles and not to help anyone else. Not always ideal, but I actually like it for the most part.
- elpocko 2y agoThinking that you can just edit any title by applying a regex is a sign of hubris, doing it automatically and silently is an arrogant affront. Not to mention it contradicts HN's own guideline that says you should keep original titles intact. It's a title mutilator.
