Title was: "Graphic: Compare all the Tech I.P.O.'s Since 1980 to Facebook's"

That seems strictly superior to me. Who's the editor/bot changing every submission titles back to the article title even when it removes (sometimes vital) context?




It wasn't me. I didn't realize that HN had the ability to swap 'em out on you.


Yeah, they'll change 'em sometimes if the title is too linkbaity or editorializing, usually to the title of the original article or blog post. Recently I've seen a few titles being changed to the source title even when the source title is completely unhelpful, leading me to wonder if someone hasn't tried to automate the process a little too effectively.
