Why do people always post on Hacker News whenever Github is offline?

It's not going to make Github go online any quicker. They have a Twitter account, you know.

It's a site most people here use, and it's interesting. It's not about getting things back up faster, but letting people know what's going on and giving them the chance to witness how a large site fails and recovers.
