Title: ‘Flow’s’ Shock Golden Globe Win Is a Long Overdue Triumph for Indie Animation

Perhaps other posters have felt constrained by this, and yet not broken guidelines?




Well, I'm happy someone did break the guidelines, as this title gives me far more information.

If the title hadn't been editorialized, I would have simply not clicked here.


If the title hadn't been editorialized, I would have probably never known.


For future readers, a backup of the HN editorialized title:

First time a Blender-made production has won the Golden Globe


Servile adherence to rules, even in cases where the rule isn't doing anybody any good, isn't a good quality to have.


I'm not sure what is a good solution here.

I think this is interesting to HN because of the blender thing, but at the same time I like that we try and keep things sober around here.

The not-breaking-guideline approach to posting this is much worse in my opinion. We often see tweets submitted that are little more than editorialized headlines and a link.


I suppose OP could have found an article that focuses more on the Blender aspect. Though, that still relies on the article to have a title relevant to HN. Personally, I am okay with what OP did.
