I am not sure the age has shifted that much with new users, but I do think that the breath of experts has changed. It shifted from technical ICs and startup entrepreneurs to basically anyone interested in new ideas and good discussion.

There are downsides but personally I think it is pretty cool to read the expert opinion of people completely outside my body of knowledge, Farmers, Neurologists, Chemical Engineers, etc.
