Not to mention we have metrics which tell us exactly what kind of reporting is most likely to have good reader engagement (and thus higher ad payouts). Most news sources are just giving us exactly what the majority of people want.

Even HN does this. It is the magic of the reply button. As a result, they pull more screen time and have a stickier crowd to show "we are hiring" ads.
