I agree about the no pics, but come on, HackerNews has extremely cryptic titles more often than not.
Half of the frontpage is always made of titles that are either referencing ultra-niche products, clickbaity, misrepresent the content of the article, try to be smart, etc.
If anything, HackerNews would be BETTER if it did not have post titles but only excerpts.
There shouldn't be titles that are either clickbaity or misrepresent the article. The site guidelines call for rewriting those ("Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.") and we're pretty active in doing so.
