alt Hacker NewsYeah, that's the HN "anti-clickbait" feature that (amongst others) removes the "How" from titles like "How we managed to run Doom on a mechanical typewriter", but in this case it doesn't make sense at all...

How does removing the word "how" make a title less of a clickbait?
"I made 40,000 dollars in a week with one simple trick" is exactly as bad as "How I made 40,000 dollars in a week with one simple trick"

I would say in this case it makes it enigmatic.

There should be luminaries to whom this does not apply, and tridge is certainly among that small pantheon.
If anything, it made it more clickbait-y due to being an unusual title.
