It's a bit depressing that out of top 5 posts, two are about deaths, one about prominent figure retiring and two are about companies being swallowed by other companies.

Of course death is sad, but we are all going to die one day. The people who died and were recognized made a meaningful impact on the world.

I don't argue with that, but the overall negative vibe of top 5 is obvious to me. I mean we could have at least a couple of "this new great thing happened" there? Of course, corporate mergers may be good news too for some people, so maybe that's not full negative.
