Using "blogspam" in this context was inappropriately harsh, and I apologize. But when submitting to HN one should use original sources wherever possible. In this case, the original source was stated right in the opening of the article. True blogspam is when blogs (sometimes, even entire sites), trolling for clicks and presentations, copy content and/or misdirect readers for the purpose of garnering undeserved presentations. Some of these even misroute you to malware using URL shorteners. There is no legitimate reason to use URL shorteners here.
