i do not have the power to downvote, but I don't think this is a deeply interesting article.

Netflix replacing the NY Times in the S&P 500? I think thats fascinating to know about.

Yeah, great headline, but also interesting that Kodak and NY Times, behemoths of the past, are being replaced by Netflix, a behemoths of the future...

Guess I'm just saying I prefer more in depth articles on HN over news blurbs. For instance, if there was eventually a follow up article that explored the changing landscape of business, that would be the kind of article I would like to see on HN; I can read the headlines elsewhere. That said, maybe the thoughtful discussions about headlines here are worthwhile.

If that were what you wanted to say, there are much less snarky ways to go about it. Being snarky is the best way to get a marginal comment downvoted five million times.

point taken :)

Ironically, in posting this comment you've already done the very action you were complaining about!

Anyways - there is no doubt that this article is interesting. It is a sharp sign of the times - venerated, 'unshakable' establishments such as the New York Times are being pushed out, while upstart tech companies are moving in.
