Because the article takes the opportunity to vent gratuitous personal bile alongside its factual claims and links. That brings out the worst in people, and it brings out the worst in people here. See my point about protecting the container above.

We don't need the callout/shaming culture on HN. If the facts in the article are important, someone else will write a factual article that doesn't have a side channel of putdowns and snark. Then we can have a thread based on that article instead.

I suppose I should add that I have no opinion about Tim's role in web governance, only about Hacker News.
