the internet runs on clickbait and HN's insistence on reflecting the title of the content itself means a lot of things that are posted are legitimately clickbait.
Just this morning I rolled my eyes when I saw an article titled "Airbus shatters record for jet orders as demand soars" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38967262).
I didn't even bother clicking on it.
people are getting oversensitive, but not without good reason.
