These "<blank> is wrong" or "you're doing <whatever> wrong" titles are tedious. Tell me about the better one you've written or STFU.

Rephrased: This "Your cake is poisonous" talk is tedious. Tell me about the healthier cake you've baked or STFU while I eat my cake.

What I mean is, criticizing something is useful in itself. It's not necessary to also propose a better way. Sometimes it's enough to STOP doing something, you don't have to find an alternative for it.

Yes, exactly! I am tired with these clickbait titles on HN. Come up a better title, damn it, this isn't DailyMail.
