What are you talking about? I see two pages, just of submissions on HN, before early last year: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1706400000&dateRange=custom&dateStart=1200873600&page=0&prefix=false&query=Jevons%20Paradox&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1706400000&dateRange=custom&... I see over 900 results just for comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1706400000&dateRange=custom&dateStart=1200873600&page=0&prefix=false&query=Jevons%20Paradox&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1706400000&dateRange=custom&... I personally have brought it up when it's relevant, like when people think energy efficiency improvements always make total use go down: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14764845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14764845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19543772 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19543772 And when a more efficient website showed more load on the server (because it widened usage to a broader audience): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13602792 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13602792 How about the more charitable hypothesis: It's a relevant dynamic because this is a situation where the paradox most strongly applies: efficiency improvement in use of an input whose output has insatiable demand. And so people bring it up, even if they just recently learned it from another comment. It's okay to say something true ... even if someone else already said it elsewhere.
