Most of the AI submissions are from people who are here to self-promote their own content and have little to no other participation. It's like this stuff appeals to a different audience than made up this site 5 years ago. Everything and everyone feels so nonsubstantive now.

These blogs are AI-written. Claude/ChatGPT love a follow-up. I guarantee they’re suggesting something along the lines of “Great catch on that typo. This is looking good. Ready for plenty of upvotes on Hacker News and Reddit!”

And that’s assuming the author isn’t just prompting “I wrote a coding article. Where should I share it for attention?”

That’s all to say that I think this /is/ largely a new cohort of the community.
