The original title is "Why I have to give Fortnite my passport to use Bluesky". HN automatically removed "Why" from the title.

this article is a good example of why "why" should be removed

Can you explain?

>>happyt+E3
"Why" is redundant. If the article is stating premise "X" and it's on the front page (assuming it's not newsworthy enough that "X" is novel and worth discussion), it's obviously going to explain "Why X" and "X" is sufficient.

But why does HN feel it's necessary to editorialize titles like that? My browsing experience isn't any better because HN decided to strip out the "why", and I've seen multiple situations in the past where the auto editing of titles here actually resulted in a title that made zero sense.
