> people have often felt over the years like HN has changed since $X, but at most there are fluctuations that revert to the mean. Whatever the real trends there are, they're longer-term than that, and determined by fundamentals.

I think it is generally agreed upon that the volume of shared misinformation and individuals believing misinformation has been dramatically increasing over the last decade as preferences in media has shifted.

It would be interesting if the population of HN wasn't following this trend.

Oh - no doubt HN is not immune from macro trends, and I didn't mean to imply that it was!

I just mean that whatever macro trends we're subject to, they're longer-term than discrete events like an election.
