For posterity, here's a spreadsheet of all Daring Fireball submissions to HN, sorted chronologically: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A7ljmWbHtFsB4VRJ1Q0d...

From first glance there's still some decent traffic on Daring Fireball submissions, even inside the times Gruber asserts deadweighting.

How then do you explain DF being #3 from 2007-2021 and #72 from 2021-2025? It’s clearly not blacklisted, but clearly is shitlisted, no?

I been reader for a long time and this is my observation. From 2021-2025, Daring fireball's article were either boring or very few far in between. Most are either also ran reviews of Apple products, or just rants. The best article he came out with recently was the "something rotten in Cupertino", and is also when I notice a big uptick in frequency of blogs. It was well derserved ranking, or should I say FAIR.
