Genuine Question - Why is this topic of any interest at all for Hacker News?

This seems more like something SEO marketers or people with nothing to do would be interested in.

Q1 Does knowing the amount of traffic a Google Doodle gets in any way help someone become a better hacker?

Q2 Does this topic in any way lead to getting better at anything?

Or has Hacker News turned into some tech version of LOLCatz?
