Interesting article. Horrible click bait title. I guess it worked though.
- smallsharptools 12y agoAgreed. Click bait.
- bvrlt 12y agoThe problem with click-bait is that it's so omnipresent with websites like BuzzFeed that if a journalist uses a non-factual title for an opinion piece, people say it's click bait. IMHO it's really fine in that case.
- yournemesis 12y agoThis is different. The article didn't even answer the question.
- hawkice 12y agoThis. It does not deliver on the promise in the headline, and the headline exists only to make you simultaneously infuriated, confused or curious. If someone posted a comment with those properties they would be banned from HN.
- tormeh 12y agoAt least it sort of defied Betteridge's law.
- baddox 12y agoIn this case, the click bait is so horrible that I still remember the last time it made the rounds. Fool me twice...can't get fooled again.
