State of Show HN: 2025

Cool. I think it would be nice to normalize against users (or active users).

2016-era HN had its share of negativism, but it also had a lot less people - the light green from those charts is misleading.

Very nice analysis

Do you have any insights into the Clawd spam ravaging /new and /show?

I'm in there, being part of a (down) "voting ring" (not coordinated)

		I currently don’t. At the time of this analysis I hadn’t even heard of Clawd but that would definitely be worth my revisiting. I was planning on doing this yearly but the Clawd excitement is definitely worth diving into.
