Same, intentional clickbait title. A decent editor would not have allowed that through. "Discarded Apple I sells for $200k; mystery woman stands to get half". Not difficult.
- huac 11y agoOr perhaps a decent editor (of this Buzzfeed era) came up with it.
- ericlang 11y agoDecent at being obnoxious.
- lfowles 11y agoThat's stretching the idea of clickbait quite a bit. "Mystery woman gets rid of old computer, you won't believe how much it sold for!" is the one baiting clicks. Current title is just an unfortunate arrangement of words.
- EarthLaunch 11y ago> That's stretching the idea of clickbait quite a bit. He was probably just using that term mistakenly, what a troll.
- aerovistae 11y agoWait, what? Who are you calling a troll?
- 7Z7 11y agoWoosh! It's a joke about misusing terminology.
- aerovistae 11y agoSo far over my head I didn't even feel the breeze from its passing.
- lfowles 11y agoI missed it too... so far over my head I frowned and muttered something about chemtrails.
- developer1 11y agoI don't believe it's stretching. People specifically click through to that article to hear the first hand experience of the person who dumped an Apple I. There's an interesting angle to the story in this version; the actual article posted is void of any such angle of interest.
- coldpie 11y agoLet me know when you find a decent editor on the internet. Even quality publications like Ars let countless its/it's and sentences without verbs sneak through.
