I would guess a change in HN audience (anyone want to throw in COVID-19?) and a decline in Apple's popularity in general.



>decline in Apple's popularity in general

You are in a bubble.


You're right — I mean I shouldn't't have used the word 'popularity'. I'd say their positive image though has lost a good deal of its shine since their peak.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm also not sure that this would lead to a decrease in engagement. I could very easily see the opposite being true -- more discontent equals more engagement.

Many/most people in tech have to deal with Apple in some capacity even if they're not users or "fans", such as making sites/apps work on Apple platforms.
