Why? As it stands you're receiving no compensation for contributions to this site. If someone else uses them in a way that's valuable to others then you'll still get no money, but your thoughts/ideas will receive more attention and benefit others, too.

It appears that most of these articles are not original HN posts but rather pieces published on the author's blog or other place and linked to from HN. At least some of these people are deriving advertising revenue from people reading the article.
