This article is quite a poor example of the issue you are referring to - it's quite a detailed look at the technical history of RSS - but I love your regex spam queries.
Ask HN: $question_where_the_answer_is_my_own_business is my personal favourite.
Understood - that's also the name of the actual article, although on reflection this article is a bit weirder then your average click bait.
Normally a rise and fall, etc, is only a title looking for eyeballs - what's most odd about this otherwise well researched article is that the last two paragraphs actually proclaim RSS's death, when this is clearly not the case. It's not as prominent without a flagship corporate app like google reader, as noted by the author, but it's nearly everywhere and there are a large number of very usable readers on mobile.
It is a good argument against corporate walled gardens, however.

This would then force hn to have some sort of filtering/moderation.
