Terms like "hidden" and "see everything" are in a title are clickbait. That's why the title would have been changed.

I've changed it again to match the article's original title, removing the clickbait part.

The one containing "hidden" is the one you apparently changed it to originally - I don't think GP can, nor has any reason to - so you initially changed it to.. clickbait?

It seems a serious reach to call "see everything" clickbait.

Currently 9th on the front page, is "is safe" also clickbait, since surely it's not 100.0% safe, just like with "see everything" it's surely not every single frame?

The large number of replies this renaming got in a short timeframe is because it's not in line with what we're used to when it comes to title changes on HN.
