Segments of HN have been predicting the imminent collapse of the US dollar for at least the last decade. One thing 10-years-ago HN had but today doesn’t is the constant predictions of the imminent collapse of the VC startup model in general, or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong threads these days.
That said, you may be correct in that the voices have gotten louder. Also, the Covid conspiracy stuff drives me up the wall, and I didn’t remember older HN being like that.
- colordrops 3y agoIt's not because HN changed, but rather because conspiracy theory, especially the covid stuff, is no longer niche.
- Loughla 3y agoMany of the threads I see recently (like 6-8 months) no longer predict the collapse of the VC startup model. They claim that it's already here. The free money days are over, that sort of thing.
