May I suggest slightly editorialising, in this case? I honestly only clicked in because I thought (post-title-change) 'that sounds like a Ben Eater video, I wonder', and since Youtube isn't working for me on mobile at the momentcame looking through the comments for this.
Tl;dr I think 'Ben Eater is back' is an interestintg post in its own right, possibly more interesting than this particular video considering the typical [video] reception.
(Longer-term higher-complexity suggestion: could YouTube links have the channel name somehow, like we now have /<name> for GitHub, Twitter, et al.?)
A concrete suggestion:
> Ben Eater's back: RS-232 protocol [video]
Or to be more subtle, just append '(2022)' (and confuse people who aren't familiar or aware of the absence):
I agree with you that in some cases the editorializing can be helpful for this reason. But once a thread has reached the upper ranks of the front page (or is making its way back down with tons of upvotes and comments), that extra information has sort of achieved its purpose and it's better to return to the mystery.
Yes, for unhealthy people like me who reload the HN home page a dozen times a day. But not for people who check it at a saner frequency, like a few times a week.
