I blame a growing contingent of redditors joining HN as r/programming is becoming spammy nonsense. I’m one of them but I keep my mouth shut and rarely comment. I predict that HN will also start to rot as this trend continues. And we’re maybe going to end up right where we started: subscribing to our favourite news outlets.

HN is one of the worst place on the internet but it pretends the opposite and watching the insanity here is addictive, I have to admit I cant help yelling at them when they say really stupid and/or antisocial things.
