While I agree with others that this is a good question worth asking, I also think that it's somewhat the nature of this list that a) the topics discussed here often require a good understanding of Python and the workings of the language, b) the described use cases and ideas are often novel and therefore may not immediately ring bells in everyone's ears, and c) many topics are recurring, so people who give a quick "-1" may just be reluctant to discuss them all over again without expecting new facets to appear (which rarely happens, in fact, although there are famously PEP-ed exceptions). And, last but not least, "I don't see the usefulness of this" is a perfectly valid counter-argument, especially for a well designed language like Python. I can think of at least one programming language that was not so lucky to have enough people say this.
