Blaming Cortex is nonsense. But there are people commenting who say they have visited the site for a decade and got bored of it when it became an echo chamber.

Perhaps all sites like it decline. Slashdot, Kuro5hin and many others are a sad shadow of what they used to be.
Maybe HN in 5-10 years will be pretty sad too.

- jacalata 9y ago> there are people commenting who say they have visited the site for a decade and got bored of it I think that people's memories are flawed enough that the "it used to be so great" arguments are all pretty suspect. I tend to think that it's more like "I used to not be familiar enough to realize x" combined with "I feel like I've seen these arguments before". I have the same feelings about HN plenty of the time.
