I feel like dropping the word "These" from the article headline really changed the meaning. I haven't heard of either of the sites in question here.

Good point. HN automatically strips certain words from the titles and I wasn't snappy enough to catch it on time.

Huh, didn't realize it did that- weird feature to have if it's automatic imo.

I think you can edit it, as the poster.

[robtherobber]

Only if it's done in a specific timespan, like 10 minutes or less. After that, it can't be edited any longer.

hey dang add a "these"

[RankingMember]

Yeah, I mean it's still newsworthy, but not nearly as earth-shattering as the headline without "These" makes it seem.

Asked my friends in both sides of the Gulf and even they haven't heard of these lol. Most likely it's just a shit ton of bot traffic.
