A link in a comment is not the same as a front page link it terms of traffic, and when this link is a .onion, you probably divide at least by a few hundreds if not thousands the number of people who will click on it (even the few percents who have Tor Browser installed probably visit HN using their regular browser so visiting the link requires to open a new browser — or to change your proxy settings of you use Tor the old school way).

I really believe the single threaded BusyBox httpd running on a low end mini PC in my bedroom will stand hosting my static web site without any trouble.
