Cool. I think it would be nice to normalize against users (or active users).
2016-era HN had its share of negativism, but it also had a lot less people - the light green from those charts is misleading.

Excepting the last year - things see dark for a lot of users here in the last year.
I do think as a metric for total reach, a static cutoff actually works reasonably well. I think some form of square root normalization over total users is probably the best balance.
