I think this website has value, and it would be a pity to shut it down directly.
Whether to continue running it depends on the balance between income and costs. I don’t know how much it costs you to maintain this website. If the cost is as low as $500 per year, would you still consider operating it even with zero income? It seems to be a WordPress site, and with proper optimization, reducing costs should be feasible. WordPress is a very mature platform, so there should be plenty of ready-made solutions available.
I believe ads and affiliate programs are acceptable. I guess that even generating a small amount of revenue could give you more confidence. Once the issue of survival is addressed, you would have more capacity to explore other possibilities.
It seems that the website's operation is not very refined. Questions such as where the traffic is coming from, which keywords are driving it, and which pages are most popular are crucial. You might need some SEO tools to gain insights into your website and users, such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
As for driving traffic to Stacker News, I think you would also need tools to help you evaluate its effectiveness. If you could accurately track how many people click on a Stacker News territory link from different pages each day, you could experiment with different approaches and optimize the results.

Yes, that's exactly what I am thinking.

Yes, I need a way to track traffic more accurately without compromising user privacy.
Thanks a bunch for your input. It will help guide me as I figure out my next steps.
