The sentence is grammatically correct and it would be wrong for a grammar checker to flag it. It just doesn't mean what you intended :)

It's the title of the original post and it's factually correct. What would your edited version be?
The title is perfectly fine or at least "good enough". HN is not like Stackoverflow with its persnickety rules. This topic generated some discussion including those who feel the title is not suitable. That's a success. Ironic to me that the ones objecting to the title say they value the time wasted to "click" but then write sentences explaining why that time was wasted. So x seconds to click and figure out you don't…
You're making it sound as if this is about a single person clicking a single link and skimming until they find the necessary context (say, 15 seconds) to judge whether they want to continue reading, versus debating a topic in a subthread (minutes). Obviously, the actual point is that everyone needs to click many links whenever they visit HN and is continously sinking that time for as many useless titles as are being posted or as they can be bothered to click through on. (If needing to click to find out what it's about is fine, we should browse HN with only the stories' rank and no title at all.) We could instead choose to not religiously stick to applying a guideline on using the original title. After all, I would also like:
> HN [to not be] like Stackoverflow with its persnickety rules.
Hate to pick on a typo, but I had to laugh. “Scrapping Reddit” is exactly how I added two hours back to my day.
weirdly enough, most Indian devs I come across write (and say) "Scrapping" for some reason. I gave up on trying to correct them. (Obv I'm indian too)

Someone put their time into creating it? Also perhaps because it is useful to people and if we ever hope to keep good content coming, without having to suffer through endless ads, we should support, what we deem to be good content.
> Someone put their time into creating it? That's not an intrinsically valuable act.

Their business model may be OK, it's just something that you need to be aware of (and a lot of people I've talked to aren't).

Wait, why is Woocommerce listed as a clone of Shopify!
40k visits and only 1 donation. Not that I complain or that I think he deserves more or less, just interesting to see the ratio.
Or should be more better rephrased: It's a open source clone of AlternativeTo.
