If HN news threads suddenly started to be filled with comments such as "made $500 betting on the Falcon 9 first stage to tip over after landing", would you also answer "you are upset that people are interested in news for different reasons than you"?
Rather, I would expect the community/mods to either downvote/remove comments about betting, making it clear that betting should be discussed somewhere else, or upvote/tolerate them, making it clear that people who prefer not hearing about betting should go somewhere else.
Of course, going somewhere else requires effort, so my selfish hope as someone not interested in betting is that the communities I browse will pick the first option.
