EU citizen here, for several reasons:

- while HN is somewhat focussed on SV, it is coveraging a very broad global set of new & inspiring information

- HN runs flawless on nearly everyone device with superslow capacity (I have been in places where HN was the only page that was loaded because of the bad internet connection, while all other pages failed, even Google or Wikipedia). The page just loads - and this very fast

- for sure, here we do not have Ads

- from a personal perspective: So far this is the only page covering my core interests that broadly: they are arround tech, web, internet, digital, finance, economy, useful news, inspirations, psychology

- HN is that influental in my country, that local tech websites are actually copying the content from here

So let me put it that way: HN is a melting pot of a very thin group of people who are working on inspiring stuff I like.

(and I like the lurkers here: Very often there is an article about X, then someone shows up in the comments and says "Im working on X, I can explain in all details")
