Hey, I had a CHI paper this year! I think it publishes many great papers each year.

Welcome to the echo chamber.

In my experience, the only people who think CHI publishes great papers are the people publishing at CHI.

(Disclosure: I've published at CHI a few times myself. I'm done with it.)

A company recruited me at CHI for an internship/collaboration and implemented portions of my research into their product, so it isn't a complete echo chamber.

Cool! What company and product? I'd love to see a positive example.

I remember LISA and USENIX.
