It may be a matter of demographics. Slashdot had the same effect with other new technology (ipod. Less space than a nomad). And Usenet or irc forums were full of people discounting myspace, FB, and other newer technologies.

Hacker news has changed a lot since the time I joined. I came from /. And osnews . And initially it was strongly pro business . Now it has became more "liberal " and pro open source.

Curious if you've found a place that feels the way that HN did back then.

If you do, let me know!!

Somedays it really looks like I'm gonna see here AARP ads any time soon!

The community is aging and getting out of touch with the market without even realizing it

Not really but mainly because I haven't looked. I personally lean more towards left/socialist views. So the current HN groupthink is more aligned with my views. Maybe I am part of the problem: a group of people that joined HN and affected the discourse.
