There seems to be some disbelief that it needs to be repeated so many times. I agree though, this seems totally within expectations and I am kind of surprised to see this on HN frontpage. It’d be more interesting if the post did the basic legwork of analyzing each usage, but it does not seem to...

My assumption upon seeing the title but before reading anything else was along the lines of, "request" means "browse to the video page" and "downloads" refers to separate ajax calls. Something like that would certainly qualify as interesting...

Exactly. I really thought the blog author was implying there 14 GET requests rather than the title just appearing as a meta data through the page.

Also, we need controls. How many times does the page title appear inside the page in other websites? Is 14 even unusual or is that average? The methodology here is so sloppy, and the result could have been much more interesting.
