This title was badly editorialized. Submitted title was "Beware of Bargin Bin Tools". You can see from the earlier comments here how badly that skewed the discussion in a generic direction that was dominated by the rewritten title. This is why HN has a rule excluding this type of title rewrite:

"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

It's actually a good submission, but you need to use the original title so that can people can figure out for themselves how to assess the content and what they want to say about it.
