unfortunately hackernews seems to have rapidly devolved, even from the point it was just a year or two ago, which wasn't a crazy bar to start. it's well on its way to just being a smaller reddit with a tighter subject range

I don't think it's just hacker news. I'm looking around and it seems to be widespread.
