>More and more folks just see a headline and comment rather than understand that headlines are designed to mislead you for clicks.

My personal policy is I don't click links I consider clickbait. I mean things that are intentionally misleading and vogue. But I sometimes check HN comments - I never comment about the post itself (since I didn't read it), but I sometimes respond to other comments (like I do now).

In the case the article's actual headline is "New Publishing Requirements & Evaluation Process for Games". The clickbait headline was supplied by the person who submitted the article to HN.

Your policy will lead to missing articles that you might have found worthwhile someone did a poor job of submitting them.
