The site has lost some of its appeal since it was opened up to topics that aren't strictly startup related.
I've noticed that accompanying the larger amount of posts, the quality has been more spread out. It's no surprise that PG related posts attract more of that quality.
- pg 19y ago> The site has lost some of its appeal since it was opened up to topics that aren't strictly startup related. To you perhaps, but pageviews per visitor are conspicuously up since that change.
- davidw 19y agoDo you think there is a relationship between the two things, or could other factors be involved (appearing on reddit, essays linking to yc.news...?). To tell the truth, it seems that things have "got back to normal" - the meta discussions have died down, thankfully not too many political discussions have been started, and things seem to be going pretty well.

- jkush 19y agoYes, I meant to qualify that statement. An increase in page views per visitor isn't surprising. There's so much more to read.
