>On a site like HN, I would have expected there to be much more people who also had the same experience as younger me with the internet and social media.

The majority of people who actively engage in discussions here are from generations older than ours (I assume we are similar in age) and hence are mostly unable to relate to our experiences.

That's true, I didn't think about this. It's a shame people here also have the 'new = bad' mindset.
