That brings back memories... of an era of Internet that many here are probably too young to have experienced.

  I wonder what the demographic for HN looks like. I never questioned how much younger the audience would be than me (and I definitely remember Boxxy and the related internet/4chan drama).
  - RamblingCTO 4y ago
    I'd think the demographics are more 30+ and thus do probably remember the 4chan stuff.
    - Insanity 4y ago
      Yup, that was my assumption as well!

  HN is predominately older millennials and genx. This site isn't really making waves among the "kids" and I doubt ever will unfortunately. It's us taking this ship to its end. o7 I would like to see the ages and sign up numbers over the years.

    I don't know if it's making waves among the zoomers, but there isn't yet an alternative for zoomers who've entered the tech workforce, is there?

      All the techy ones are on discord nowadays, it's the modern IRC. My go and rust servers are packed with people half my age (late 30s).
