But it could be true every time. Reddit user base grows -> quality drops -> people migrate to HN with the current reddit culture -> HN quality drops. Repeat from the start.

Damnit, another minor inconvenience obstructing unprecedented human progress. I guess you just have to keep your secrets.

The snark isn’t lost on me but scarce resources and lack of access to capital is why we have an army of people building ad tech and not things that improve society.

Another data point: I recently encountered my first vibe coded website on the wild.
