But the word recently has a well understood meaning, which means, something you want to do, something you would choose to do if there were no barriers.

HN literally seems like the general sentiment has shifted to the opposite of what it used to be a decade ago. What happened?

For comparison: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page...

My take: gradual shift in user base especially since HN has gotten more popular, not to mention just a difference in zeitgeist. This implies the old guard have changed how they communicate or use the site as well. So just the same as anywhere else.
