Why not? This weird complaint has been happening since ~2010 and it has never made any sense. You are strictly better off with the website than without it. When it was vulnerability researchers getting all peevish about the status competition they were running, I at least understood where the complaint was coming from, but even among practitioners, branded vulnerabilities are so much the norm at this point that there's no status implication anymore.

What?

Is there something in this website that feels unnecessary? It seems like a good format of sharing high quality information.

This looks like a full bug into a complete root escalation of a kernel. That's hard to do and deserving of praise. The fact that we have a writeup organized like this is awesome.

This is sort of the expert level stuff that I thought HackerNews would most enjoy.

You're not going to get anywhere in the security sector unless you gain notoriety i.e. are noticed.

This appears to come from dressing up like Elton John in a feather suit and hiring a marketing team.

Possibly Playstation as well.
