Someone should do a GPT analysis of HN submissions to find and catalogue the HN-Meta. The meta being, the general rise and fall of sentiments / curiosities.

I've been on here for 15 years and definitely feel phases when it seems like a lull because I am personally not interested in the current hype.

Side note: A few months ago, I swear I saw about 150 different databases I had never heard of on here.

there are some weird phases that happen for sure. I've noticed the same thing with programming languages. There are periods where there is tons of stuff about functional programming and then it'll die down again for a while.
