Ask HN: Is Ask HN Shrinking?

4•keiferski•1h ago

I only see 7 posts in the Ask HN section. The other day, there were only 10. Is this due to a cap on Ask submissions, or something else?

Many of the Ask HN posts are lower quality. Additionally, with LLMs, everyone has access to personal research assistant that can investigate questions for them.

I think the majority of Ask HN questions have always been looking for the opinions of the community, not just pieces of information.
