Please don't complain about downvotes. It breaks the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, not least because users frequently give corrective upvotes (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=corrective%20upvote&dateRange=...), which leaves the complaint as uncollected garbage in the thread.

We've taken it out now. From the site guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
