hypertele-Xii didn’t say anything about whether or not they were personally interested in the subject matter. He/she was complaining about the click-bait title that would be more likely to discourage them from reading the article. The vast majority of web articles titled “… you need to know” are junk. I wouldn’t have read the article only I saw it was from APNIC.
I'm an IT person, know nothing about OpenBSD (except that it's an OS), and am doing just fine.
