Don't worry, we're next.
Strongly agree. Those who are skeptical and have recently joined HN just need to rewind, read a few threads from 2015, let alone 2010. The quality of discussion, the disagreements, the back and forth, the deep respect for each other - all those are eroding away on HN, albeit slowly. Still there is good discussion, especially on deep technical topics (e.g. Semiconductors). It may not be the fault of HN - today's inter…
But more specifically there is no nexus between the decline, or behaviour, and a desire to IPO and realize profit. Not all things co-relate, they can be contemporaneous and un-related.
Whatever Dan has, and he has a lot of "it" -it includes tolerance and forbearance, and an ability not to buy into the paranoia at large. I don't think he'd be part of an IPO decision logic which went "yea it's boring: lets profit and run" -there might be a "profit" and there might be a consequential "run" and there might be "its boring" but I don't personally see them as causally connected.

old.reddit.com with redditenhancementsuite.com extension is still the best way to browse. I'm impressed that they've kept the old UI for so many years. The usage must be significant to keep it around.
it’s 10-15%. if you moderate a sub you see where people come from
At least Reddit had it's massive downward spiral years ago, no one can blame their current website layout on this.

A strange choice of time, to me. With such intense market volatility, it's easy to both leave money on the table by setting the IPO price too low, or to have trouble selling stock by by setting it too high. OTOH the freshly printed money look for returns, so the stock market is more likely to be bullish even in relatively near term; maybe they are trying to catch this trend?
Market volatility doesn't seem to be extraordinarily high right now: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/VIX:INDEXCBOE?safe=off&...
How is Reddit IPO'ing after they were bought by Conde Nast? I've never really looked into it. It's an interesting thing that they managed to get un-acquired somehow. In fact, there are so many questions. Does YC get a payday out of this, or was their stock acquired during the acquisition? 2% of $5B is $100M, so it's a lot of money at stake.
One of the best HN replies I've ever read was in this thread. I am so sad it was deleted.

not the parent commenter, but my sense is the argument is that all-the-more-so as a public company, user/engagement growth will be king, so the notion that dark patterns and growth hacks will go away is wishful thinking at best.
