That's not how it works. HN is ephemeral, threads last for one day mostly (sometimes 2) - after that it's like they were never there. If there's a new development about any subject, a new thread gets created. Look at all the threads where people speculate about the downed Malaysia jet or Dorian Nakamoto.

If you don't like or don't care about something, just ignore it. I ignore 50% of the stuff here, but rarely do I come across a thread that makes me feel "this shouldn't be here at all".

I also think the unspoken convention is that people who made a piece of software get a bit of extra attention and feedback. Personally, it's one of the features I like most around here.
