I still used to frequent it all the way up to last month, for some interesting discussions. But now... it's really become AI-pro^[Yes, I know it's been that way for a while, but either I'm feeling it more or the bots have gamed the website to the point that all you see are announces from big tech companies or people going on about their AI solutions] and any post that even hints about AI existentialism gets immediately cut down.

I find it hard to browse the site anymore, and lament the loss of expert tech discussion in my weekly routine.

Yeah, the techbro worship has turned me off of HN. I remember when Show HN used to be neat FOSS projects made by real people. The last time I looked, it was all AI and purely for money.

Yeah, it's become a grift. Someone recently showed a new StumbleUpon type thing, which was a pretty fun way finding good content. I used it a lot on the first day. By the third day, the next few pages you'd visit were Big Tech landing pages...

I knew the free lunch couldn't last, but it couldn't even let me finish breakfast?
