Really what the graph shows is that the downturn in in-person positions has been minimal, but the downturn in remote work has been precipitous.
No, they're following the same trend. Remote jobs are consistently 75 % - 80 %.
That seems absurdly high if you're talking about fully remote.
We're talking about advertising for jobs on Hacker News. Maybe there is just not much value to advertising location-specific jobs in these threads.
You're almost certainly right. But it also means that the postings are very unrepresentative of the broader market.
There's probably a bias given that this is a website with global reach. For any company posting, almost all readers are not living nearby.
