That time is not now. Now HN is half corporate boot lickers defending the status quo, like the temporarily embarrassed billionaires they are, while the other half are using HN as a political soap box to rail against San Francisco or the current federal administration or last year's HN icons who have since fallen off of the pedestals HN put them on. It's become mostly a joke where perhaps 1 of 10 comments are insightful and hacker-y, the inverse of what it was 15 years ago when intellectual curiosity and, you know, hacking, were seen as more important than preening and demonstrations of social status. HN is becoming Instagram or Twitter. It's nearly fully degraded to NextDoor levels of discussion. |
