The author overlooks some clickbait:
* What's the deepest hole ever dug?
* The man who quit money
* The Incredible Degredation of Hacker News
etc.
The question is, was HN ever much better. Perhaps some front page listings from 1, 5, etc. years ago would help.

- hackuser 12y agoThanks. Of course we don't know if we're looking at representative samples, but I'd say the 5 year old front page was better. I'd pay for a very well-curated site, with excellent discussion. I wonder if a paywall would increase quality of participation? Owners and members might be less tolerant of low-quality content.
