Is HN just reddit now? The comments on this are beyond stupid and add nothing of value or thought.

No, it's not. There are a lot more thoughtful comments and some questioning the headline for its clickbait.

I agree there are a lot more low quality comments, though. It depends on the article.

  • There has been a bit of a trend. I do appreciate dissenting comments on HN even when I've gotten a bit defensive over them

It's gotten almost unbearable in the last couple years. The amount of hate, cynicism, bitterness, etc. towards almost everything (currently AI, capitalism, anyone successful, etc) is just ridiculous. It's sad, I've been a heavy user for almost twenty years now, and I find it borderline intolerable most days.
