Hi there! I'm the OP. I'm not affiliated to YC, and I didn't even notice the change till you pointed it out. I haven't been contacted by an admin, so I'm just as in the dark as you are.

It is possible that an admin changed the title.
Folks probably downvoted you because they deemed your tone unwelcome here.

Still strange. Why should an admin change the submission of a random user if it doesn't breach any of HN's rules?
Maybe because it's not a random submission by a random user?
Guess I must be wrong but would love to hear what that admin who did the change has to say.

> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Admins change the title and even the link of a great many posts on HN, breaking rules or not, to “clarify” the topic.
I didn't know that users could change the title of their submission. How is this possible or is this actually a post by YC?
If latter, a hint would be great that this might be YC promoted content and not actual user content.
