Comment on Poll: Do you believe informative titles should be swapped for original titles?

Comments

It's not a trend; we've always done it.

What's the rationale for it?

Reddit suffers from editorialising, yes. But this question was not about editorialising. It was about using a more descriptive title on HN, that makes more sense in the context of HN, instead of the link-baity/misleading original title from the article. Why is this a bad thing?
