To your question re: why the downvotes (I wasn't one of them): it was an honest, but not very good, question. You essentially misunderstood the main focus of this site (Hacker News[1]) and asked, in a way that likely came across as pejorative (i.e. 'cling'), 'why are people so interested in the news at this news discussion site?'
