“Should Less Wrong add subtitles?” by Chris_Leong

If Less Wrong wants people to be sharing more of their intellectual output on this website, we should probably be looking at Substack since it probably scores best in terms of being both successful and similar. Whilst I expect there are many features that would make sense to copy over, the feature I am focusing on today is subtitles. A good title is focused on being memorable and catching the readers attention, maybe you'd prefer for everyone to just make their titles as descriptive as possible, but expecting that to work feels naive to me. In contrast, subtitles address this issue systematically: the title catches the user's attention and the subtitle tells you clearly what the article actually focuses on, so you can decide whether it is worth your time or not. I'm not claiming that this feature will radically transform this website, but it would be a relatively simple feature to add, so I think the cost-benefit ratio would be pretty good. --- First published: August 16th, 2026 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Eo8YxwDYZX2xALMAM/should-less-wrong-add-subtitles --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
