I agree but the alternative is the the end of HN + the end of the rest of the open internet in a year or five.

When you soon will only meet bots that are trying to manipulate you or sell you something - the value for everyone goes to zero pretty quickly.

I'm not sure how this will be solved besides most people ditching the open internet and 100% engaging in tiny groups of people they already know the mental capacities of.

Christ, this really is the end of the "social internet" where you could find inspiration and new perspectives isn't it?
