I don't think any of us at Cloudflare had any idea Steve was writing this.
Similarly, no one at Cloudflare asked me to write https://sandstorm.io/news/2017-03-13-joining-cloudflare https://sandstorm.io/news/2017-03-13-joining-cloudflare back when I joined, and I can't recall if I even told anyone I was writing it. That post also hit #1 on HN, which, honestly, was a huge surprise to me -- I didn't think it was that interesting, for similar reasons to what you say. I wrote it because it seemed like an obviously sensible thing to announce, but not really for attention-getting purposes...
I guess people are free to upvote what they think is interesting?
