Yeah, I know we’re not supposed to say it, but HN is dying. The amount of slop that is getting praise on the site lately is insane.


I'm not sure if dying, but there's definitely been a change, and I wonder about the cause.

So far I thought it was mostly AI companies and users pushing their products here, but maybe there's a shift in userbase as well?


I started to notice a subtle shift a couple years ago. An increase in vibes and hype and a decrease in reason and critical thinking.

Reminiscent of something like Eternal September possibly, but with bots this time? Maybe my interests have simply grown beyond what is typically found here.
