alt Hacker NewsExactly, getting an email about an HN comment was always a little moment of joy in the past, now I immediately switch to a skeptical "what are they trying to sell me"-mode which I really don't like. I'll keep hoping for real interactions but I also fear I will just need to adapt to the "new normal".
I have everything that mentions HN set to go to spam at this point and check it once a month for kernels amongst the bullshit. For the last year, zero legit emails, all llm nonsense trying to sell me either something related to crypto or some nonsense vibe coded extension only tangentially related to whatever the topic was.
I look forward to the email from this thread trying to sell me on an automatic filtering extension or some nonsense.
