yeah, i definitely agree!
I would say its the curse of getting bigger... in good old days (before HN got wide attention), only genuine hackers joined. When it gets so popular and big that every major tech blogger reads/acknowledges it and HN threads show up in first page of google search within 40 minutes of starting, there's bound to be some 'Media Sluts' coming over who's not concerned with being a Hacker!
