Pre-2020 had far more informative posts and discussions. While we still have decent conversations post-covid, the quality has slid downhill somewhat.

Every few years I get to thinking I want to do some research on this and then maybe make a combo karma age filter, and then I go read some posts from 2017 and I think “it was better, but I don’t know if it was that much better.”

Excepting the last year - things see dark for a lot of users here in the last year.

I think that's indicative of the Internet as a whole for a vast array of reasons, and even so, HN still maintains a far higher bar for discussion.
