Really? You figured it out just by looking at the title and the domain?

I haven't been following any of this stuff, and I wasn't familiar with textfiles before. I clicked the link only by accident. I actually meant to click the submission above it, which was much more descriptive and immediately told me what the submission was about: "How Coursera Cracked the Chinese Market".

I know the title rule exists for a reason, but let's not kid ourselves: some titles are written by the author only with a specific context in mind, which is usually their own website or blog. Such titles aren't a good fit for HN.



Who said anything about just looking at the title and domain?
