Taking the time to write something, and read over it is a better skill than asking an LLM to do it for you.

Also, quality doesn't come from any of those points you've mentioned. Quality comes from your ability to think and reason through a topic. All those points you mention in your first paragraph are excuses, trying to make it seem like there was some sort of effort to get an LLM to write a post. It feels like fishing for a justification

The UI might be the same but there's clearly been a lot of work done on the backend of the site in that time

edit to add: Don't gatekeep by using the pejorative "newcomers". Unless you're PG there will always be someone who has been around here longer than you

How do we know you're not a shill for some competing company with a competing product?

It's all just pointless name calling.

The documentary "Century of Self" by Adam Curtis [0] certainly opened my eyes to the damage that Bernays has inflicted on society in general.

Agreed, there's a few instances of this sort of thing that come to mind. Sometimes you have a good thing, but it's not until some external thing changes that the right conditions for uptake are met. One such example is the game Among Us which was out for two years before covid hit and it found exponential growth after that.

HN is getting hugged by the holy trinity of major sites outages, major product launches and major tech layoffs.

Any one of those is usually a fairly large event around here, all three at once is another story

> A site that optimizes for content that people heavily interact with (engagement) is different than a site that prioritizes the relationship type between users

I think that's hit the nail on the head. In a neutral environment, a user would be shown a feed of friends posts with ads mixed in for their demographic.

In an optimised for engagement environment, a user is shown posts that are known to increase engagement and quite often those posts are inflammatory.

This engagement environment is much more likely to expose people to extreme views
