Ask HN: Has the Mood Changed?
1 point by HellDunkel on June 7, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I have been reading this page for some time now- comments more than anything. Do you think the „mood“ or „vibe“ has changed?

I sense a strong shift over the last 5 years towards more critical thinking and sceptisim which i think is an improvement. Downsides are growing bitterness, conspiracy theories and doomerism.

Startups seem to have lost appeal, everybody wants to work in big tech but no one loves it. YC is hardly a thing now. Gladly, nobody pretends to like VCs anymore. Self-improvement blog posts are decreasing (good bye spead reading). Do you agree? What else have you noted- good or bad?




In the last 6 months I have seen the attitude of people towards big business change on this forum. People seem much more sceptical of any wild claims made but there are some people that still like hype.

Also I feel like this is not the only place that has changed.
