How Hacker News Stays Interesting
It hasn't. Declined a lot over past five years.  There are days now not a single front page article is motivating enough for me to click on it.I'm sure HN has grown audience and in general appeal over same periodBoth that wider appeal and my loss of interest is due to subject shift of content.  From mostly high s/n, tech and startup articles to human interest, "life hacks", and long form. From stuff that is directly useful (to a niche audience), to generally applicable entertainment.
