This has been said by every long term user of these sites. And not at the same time. It was always better in the past. It's probably partly true... yeah, quality can decrease as things get better. But it's also partly an illusion of aging in a changing world. Ten years is long enough to completely change the way we write and express ourselves.

"Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills."
