I can understand avoiding clickbait, but it seems that HN has a policy of making sure titles are sufficiently boring. Originally this post's title matched the blog post's title:

> For the love of God, please tell me what your company does

Adds some flair. Expresses the sentiment of the article. Now it simply says:

> Tell me what your company does

On the other hand, HN is an impressively effective, open minded atmosphere for discussion. The bit of pruning that is done must be working. I wonder if this policy somehow leads to success overall.

I've been wondering the same thing. It does, sometimes, seem to come across a bit like the thought police...

I've seen people earnestly discuss climate skepticism here, which is a pretty taboo opinion to have these days, at least (let's say) in tech circles. So I don't think it's thought police. More like fun police.
