   What do people find interesting about this? This doesn’t seem at all significant to me

      This comment sums up why HN has gone to shit - there's no curiosity or interest into what problems are solved by a product, just performative cynicism.

         Haha, am not trying to criticize you here, but feel like your comment is very ironic, to the point of being squarely in the camp of hypocritical (haha, you know, “performative cynicism”). It’s all good:)

            Oh it's absolutely ironic, but I've also grown tired of how HN has degraded over the last 3-5 years.

            I know the complaint has been banded for decades now, but the platform has gotten really insufferable after COVID.

            Gotta get your kicks somewhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

               I feel like a few online communities went this way (Eternal September has become Eternal 2020). That said, seeing familiar names and vibes around HN keeps my spirits up, as do little subthreads like this :)
