"If you're not careful, you might have your private information stolen online. You may even lose money to an identity thief!" "Google is a large technology company which runs the world's most popular search engine." These are NOT good stories for HN, because the people here /know this already/. There is nothing wrong with introductory stories as such. In the case of bitcoin, there is also a suspicion of an ulterior motive in promoting bitcoin stories. As for "don't read it" -- forums are damaged when the noise (and spam) level is high. I can express my opinion by commenting, unless a moderator tells me not to.
