I see you are referring to this comment thread - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1850917 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1850917. To be honest, you didn't make very good comments there and argued mostly emotionally without actually explaining your point clearly at all. Plus, I'm afraid, it is a bit premature to question the direction HN is headed in after using it only for 6 months. As others have said, the noise may have increased around here, but the signal is still very strong. The best people who make HN a great forum are still actively contributing, having intelligent conversations, building great stuff and helping people. Ask yourself, do you not get good value just reading stuff here? Don't judge it solely based on how your comments are received. And if that really matters most to you, consider taking a break for a while.
