I've been lurking HN since 2019-ish and indeed it's an echo chamber. And I don't mean on polarizing topics. The front page became boring. You see the same authors, websites, topics upvoted by HNers reflexively regardless of actual content. Kinda puts me off submitting any interesting links if they're gonna be buried under n-th Paul Graham's or Seth's or Noahpinion blog post.
- neglesaks 3y agoThis is sadly a recurring phenomenon on all "Social" media, Facebook, Twitter, IG, HN... When a place becomes a "digital village", people tend to upvote/like/pat-on-the-back the known names automatically without applying scrutiny to their words or arguments, if any.
