illegally, yeah

Forums came before social media. It's a forum.

Forums don’t have algorithmic front page and upvote/downvote system

You can’t bump a thread to the top of HN so everyone sees it

I don't think that quite makes it social media though.

No, people just keep reposting the same shit over and over instead. But the end effect is very similar, dang even links to old posts almost every time.

HN is a secret third thing: A forum

no wonder it doesn't work well

vibe coded, it seems from the commit history (and readme lol)

these AI companies are high in their own supply

and/or they are really trying to shift norms where AI is required to exist (which is good for their financials)

holy wow. so they really are deluded and are believing fallacies from the mythical man month

it's not about that. it's about how it gets reported in their financials.
