I mean I think the dynamics are a bit different in online communities at least for actual communities and not drive by subs like r/technology or whatever.

Especially say here on HN with Show HN and such the forcing factors are "i get no votes or community recognition"

But I don't entirely disagree with you I think things won't totally go back I think it will settle way more than now though especially where things are a little more niche.
