Why does the HN title say “2026 edition” when the page itself says “Slop edition”? We aren’t supposed to editorialize titles here.[0]

Because there's been a recent submission titled "Every fucking website (2020)", I guess.

  • That is adding a year to the end of the complete title of the article, which is a thing often added to older articles to provide additional context. This is replacing words in the article's title with different words, which, as I said, is counter to the stated rules of the site.

    If the title was "Every fucking website: Slop edition (2026)," I wouldn't have made my comment.
