#4I think I read some days ago another stat, that the average rating of “Show HN” posts is going down. So the pessimistic take is that people feel the bar to present their product in a “Show HN” is lowering.

#10Do you have any numbers on the number that get some number of upvotes? What about a chart of upvotes on Show HN?
I assume the vast, vast majority never get any upvotes.
