Comment on Show HN posts p/month more than doubled in the last year

Comments

One of the reasons is that there are a lot of adverts masquerading as Show HN.

Some subreddits became polluted the same way. Pretty annoying.

There's a subreddit for software people with adhd and it's terrible, every second post is about a New and Exciting Tool to manage adhd. Most of them are vibe coded, all of them come from randos I wouldn't trust with what I had for breakfast, let alone a whole life management system.

I check in every few weeks and I don't understand how anyone can use that subreddit more frequently.

Yea, pretty much. I actually always thought that these were some bots.

that's eventually what drove me away from adhd_programmers as well, tho I'm sorry they even still allow AI apps anymore cuz it was bad before llms blew up
