This is what happens when your UX is so bad it's a distraction. It's like complaining that nobody is listening to your lecture on particle physics just because you are delivering it in full bondage gear. I personally was too dumb to figure out that the OP isn't just a link to a gif, and came to the comments here to see what the deal was.
Given all the distraction and lack of attention to whatever the subject actually is, I'd hope the author might reconsider the delivery method.
In this case specifically, since multiple comments addressed people being "unable to find" the content, you might have a point. I don't feel like that's typically the case on HN, though.
It more commonly seems like "this wasn't immediately obvious or in a format I'm already comfortable with, shame on you." That, to me, seems like (UX) innovation killing potential. I'm sure that's an entirely different discussion, but I don't think experimenting with new things like this is a bad thing.
