Creating a useful, correct, well editied blog takes a lot of effort and such people should be rewarded. Sure hosting is cheap, but creating is not free if you want it to be complex. This is not capitalism. Any system of society needs to have some way of determining who did something worth doing and ensuring those people get rewarded enough that they can eat and get other basic necessities of life and ideally some luxury. More importantly, any system of society cannot function if there's not some way of saying you are not doing your fair share. Now there's nothing wrong with society of saying certain people are disabled and can't do with the same fair share as some other people, but if nobody is doing their fair share, society will collapse.

A simple though like this post is low effort. Once in a while a quick blog post not a big cost. However, these relatively low-effort posts on Hacker News are not a particularly great value to society.
