Title: Looking at the current top HN post &quot;Google Search Is Dying&quot;[1] on the HN front page and all the upvotes it&#x27;s receiving and reading most of its comments, I&#x27;m kind of forced to ask:<p>In your opinion:<p>1. Is HN becoming more of an &quot;echo chamber&quot;?<p>2. If yes[2], how big of an &quot;echo chamber&quot; you think HN has become (or is becoming)?<p>3. How wide-spread is this issue? Is it limited to certain topics only? If yes, what are those topics?<p>...<p>My reason for asking this question is that afore-mentioned post[1] is referencing mostly YC personalities and HN post as answering its main question: &quot;How do we know Google is dying?&quot;[1] which I don&#x27;t think is really very convincing.<p>Note:<p>I find it quite ironic that I&#x27;m asking this question on HN while knowing that one can&#x27;t rely too much on the received responses. Still, IMHO, HN is the best place for asking this HN specific question than any other place on the internet (at this moment).<p>Edit:<p>1- Disclaimer: I don&#x27;t have any investment or work-related relationship with Alphabet&#x2F;Google or any of its subsidiaries. Just a regular HNer who loves mostly STEM or business related healthy&#x2F;constructive discussions.<p>---<p>[1] - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30347719<p>[2] - To some extent, I accept that all online social platform are inherently kind of an &quot;echo chamber&quot;, in a very specific sense. However, I could not be alone here expecting a little more from the majority of HN users (compared to users of other online social platforms, like Reddit) when it comes to the issue of an &quot;echo chamber&quot; and its corresponding negative effects.
