A comment on Silicon Valley has turned into the place it hates the most.

The title of the article is, "Silicon Valley has turned into the place it hates the most", not whatever this watered down title is. I saw this post earlier with the original title and I'm curious why it was changed? Is this too sensitive of a topic for HN?

OK, we've reverted it from the document title of “Kairos Fund raises fund focusing on middle class problems” to the main headline for now, but could someone please suggest a non-clickbait and informative title from the article that we can use instead?

Maybe it hits a little close to home. From my experience, there's a bit of a disdain for SV in the other US tech hubs (Austin, Atlanta, Raleigh, Boulder, et Al) and maybe rightfully so.

That isn't a good reason to change the title. Seems like it should hit close to home if it is accurate.

I agree and I'm disappointed HN would change the title. They claim it is a PR piece for Kairos but it certainly doesn't read that way to me.

If this was truly a heartfelt article, I doubt it would have cast Kairos as the only do-gooder in this industry. The focus on helping the US Midwest is straight from Kairos’ thesis.

Most honest articles about SV’s shortfalls focus on bigger problems, like global war, famine, or extreme poverty.
