It has infected the comments. Our patrons are fighting a good fight, but good slop is mostly indistinguishable from a worthless karma-farming comment. Mods are probably just cheating because there are people with 15-20 year old accounts, many of whom they personally know, and you can assume that the stuff they're interacting with is not slop or is at least worthy slop.

What's infected HN is the same old discourse; old people find the kids social tropes dangerous

What's more realistic; 50+ year olds of today just parroting sensory experience where they heard their dead or dying elders complain about the kids back in the 00s, 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s... etc etc
Or the 50+ year olds actually figured out how everything must work for the next 1,000 years they won't be around for
The olds who grew up in a PTSD addled post world war and cold war social reality while huffing leaded gas smog? They figured it out forever, everyone!
...No. You figured out yourselves relative to technology of your day. Tech will change and the living will figure themselves out relative to their technology.
You're just engaged in parroting specifics of your own experience.
