To some degree I wonder if it’s because the titles don’t always make it clear what it’s about (which is a valid choice). So if you are just scanning the new list you might not realize it’s something interesting or well written. Sort of an SEO type thing. It’s not clear from the title here if this is even about something tech related at all. I think the other issue (total guess on my part) is a lot of people hate Apple and enough know Daring Fireball is a “pro-Apple fanboy” site and just reflexively flag it or something. Edit: I just realized one of the two threads he linked was flagged, so that fits. And while some titles are more abstract (without reading the article first) like this one others are perfectly clearly in the HN wheelhouse.
