It's raw financial information about a well-known and much-discussed new business, a business about which we aren't often privy to any numbers.

It's okay that you don't find it interesting, but I -- and many others, thus the upvotes -- do.

(If your definition of newsworthiness stems solely from whether or not it effects you in general, then I'd imagine you'd have to eliminate 80% of Hacker News, as well as ~98% of all world news.)

No snark necessary, Justin. It was a genuine question. I just didn't understand why it was so highly upvoted and why this was so interesting to people.

I apologize if I came off as snarky with the middle bit, I didn't mean it as such. (For instance, I don't find the VC stuff on here, such as the Kima15 thing, interesting at all. But I recognize that a huge portion of readers here do.)
