It's an example of how what matters to people in the HN crowd is not necessarily what matters to the target audience of things that crowd is aware of. Most people also don't care about banner ads, auto-playing videos, and a long list of very legitimate annoyances. I don't know how people read with so many widgets bouncing around the modern web. They really do seem to not notice or don't seem bothered.

Browse the web with ad blocking on and then go back to the "normal" experience; try watching network TV after a significant break; it is pretty much unbearable - did you know they inject ads into the middle of youtube videos, or make you watch them before you see the content you wanted? ;)
