More likely the number of "low quality" posts increases over time.
Even if I agree that I sense a decline in quality, I don't have a solution. Why doesn't the world work the way I think it should?
I find the HN format very easy to skim and skip, easier than reddit. Regardless of the quality of the posts I can easily ignore those that don't strike me as relevant or interesting.
The more exclusive groups I have participated in often have different problems. The posts may stay more relevant and "high-quality" but the forum turns into showing off and bickering over trivia -- intellectual posturing. I find that more annoying and time-wasting than having to skip over half of HN posts every day because I don't care about Bitcoin or Elon Musk's tweets or some new React technique, nor do I care to look at someone's to-do list side project and comment on which database they should use.
