It certainly makes a dull discussion, but frankly we need to have it. Post-AI HN is now a checkbox on a marketing plan - like a GitHub repository is - and I’m sick of being manipulated and sold to in one of the few forums that wasn’t gamed. It’s not minutiae, it’s an overarching theme that’s enshittifying the third places. Heck even having to discuss this is ruining it (yet here I am lol).
