I'd put the quality degradation start around the same time as the age of rage started and social media, in general, took on a whole new tone. Separately, there has always been an element of self promotion on HN, the content and quality seem to have been changing more inline with HN popularity. (though both have been impacted by the popularity) * Note, these are personal observations / impressions and not backed by hard data
