Actual title of the linked article is:

> John Riccitiello: this industry divides people who shun monetisation and those who embrace what makes a successful product

Instead, we get the non-representative clickbait "fucking idiots" in our title, which goes against the HN ethos and guidelines:

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize. [0]

And looks like the clickbait is working too, this is one of the top posts of the day already. Bit ironic that OP is condemning dark patterns like iAP, when clickbait is a dark pattern itself
