100%. This is exactly why I stopped visiting it. The ‘products’ became so thin. They were more often curations of other products.

- andrewSC 5y agoNot to venture too OT, however, would you be willing to offer suggestions for sites like PH before it became what it is today? I enjoy seeing "new products" however I'm not sure what counts as a high quality source anymore.
- zeruch 5y agoI never thought I'd miss "Freshmeat.net" (admittedly focused on FOSS stuff, but it's listings and descriptions and updates were pithy and clear, in chronological order). Stuff like PH is a boondoggle.
- samjanis 5y agoYup. Looks like I'm not the only one seeing this. I dropped out 2 years ago despite being on there since 2015 which in my opinion was its peak. It was a great place to chat with others about what everyone is building, with their own hands, but now there are too many solutions looking for a problem. At least hacker news has managed to keep somewhat neutral, despite having its own share of criticisms.
