You're not but (and I'm going to get flagged for this probably) I seem to understand there are so many people voicing their discontent about the abundance of AI posts, they get immediately downranked. I.e. swept under a rug.

I actually wrote to dang to ask why a prominent "Ask HN: why so much GPT" post disappeared after an hour and they confirmed this. I still am disappointed to have learned from that conversation that "downranked" means "basically shadow-banned and you can't find it anywhere unless you use a direct link".

So yeah, I dislike what HN has turned in 2023. We're not the only ones, but we're the vocal minority and thus put aside.

I don't even want to blame dang, he's got the short end of the stick moderating this chaos, but the result is that HN is less and less about hackers because we're the minority now.

(In any case, this post is about YC, not HN itself, so we're probably off-topic here)
