The point is that article that newspaper folk produce using this method will essentially be along the lines of the Google-chasing Demand Media content farm stuff. Give people exactly what they're looking for at the top of their mind and a lot of important reporting goes away.

It's not your article he's complaining about, it's the articles that your article encourages people to write.

I'm not disappointed about anything.

You're on the front page of HN today, so whatever your regular audience, your audience today includes a number of tech bloggers.

For newspapers: you will not be catering to your audience, you will be catering to the people who clicked on those ads.

I was not suggesting you did not care about your topic.

I was not suggesting it was in any way improper for you to mention adcenter. But it's funny, you just parroted what was in the news and instead of useful trend data about the popularity of adcenter among bloggers we just have more noise.
