Not sure if there is a marketing company that specifically helps people with Kickstarter campaigns, but there should be.


Honest question here: I'm the OP, but my original title was, Reaction to “Was YC Worth It” – Startup Fundraising Lessons for the 99%. Someone changed my title? Is that normal when YC is mentioned in the headline?


Your submitted title wasn't the article's title (on Pando), but now, post the edit, they are.


A horrible paraphrase of the relevant rule and comments on the rule:

"Links to articles should be submitted with the original article title. Titles are common property... The person who submits an article to shouldn't have the ability to inject their opinions, so to prevent this we revert all titles to the original article title.

It would be better if submitting a link could just automatically pull the title from the article, but there's no reliable way to make that work. Instead, we just have to make this a rule and have moderators enforce it."


I hope you ask Pando.


What do you mean by that? It was my decision to select the title that I did. I thought it was relevant to the audience. No?
