I agree with you about the questionable nature of this post's popularity on Hacker News and also question its validity. I am confident that many others would agree.

There are many other relevant stories that fail to rise through the ranks here, not just the one you mentioned.

That happens 24 hours a day and has been happening for 10 years on this site. Why does this story seem so absurd and unjustified to you? Why does this topic bring out such crazy reactions to it? It's weird to see in action.
