tl;dr This is satire. It's kinda funny. But not that funny.
1. This is a news site, not a TV channel.
2. The title doesn't say that it's satire. I know that labeling it satire would ruin the joke, but not everyone is interested in satirizing BaseCamp. I'm one of those people, and I was irritated at having wasted a click. With Seinfeld, I could just avoid the show.
3. I am not HN. Many people may love this, for all we know.
