I am aware of things outside of HN, as I do read other sites. But when I open this one, I hope for a certain kind of content. If it's the same as all the other sites, it becomes kind of pointless.

So no, that's not "the problem". One problem I see, is that all places now get innundated with a great number of posts about the "problem du jour". Many times supported by opinions like yours "that's important!". It may well be, but specialization still has a role.

Maybe for a short time I want to not think about the "things getting worse", you know?




Ignore the doomsayers, they purposefully want us to pause progress in the name of “everything is wrong.”

It’s been that way for centuries. There’s always things “getting worse outside your bubble” but there’s also a lot going well.

Never apologize for saying this is the kind of content you come to hacker news for, it is EXACTLY the content that should be here.

People can go to Twitter or something if they want to doomscroll.
