Curious what warranted this backlash?

  Poor quality of top posts in the front page, considering HNs etiquette about content strictly pertaining to anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity when it’s clearly not the case. Also the cognitive dissonance of people here when their favorite platform gets compared to admittedly lower quality ones (Reddit). What should one expect however when the front page is for the most part infested with meaningless platitudes about trends that end up being short-lived but get hyped as life-altering innovations? And I haven’t even touched upon the subject of the course of debates on the site (bold assumptions by commenters significantly lacking background but still considering themselves authority)…

    your last parenthesized part seems ubiquitous now far more than 10+ years ago, to say the least.
