This is what I have been complaining about constantly lately. Reddit has become more and more out of touch, and it’s not just on that sub. Even mundane reality show subs have been very out of touch lately too (I remember there was a post talking about how much to spend on a haircut and everyone was saying they spend at least $800 for a cut and color. And someone who claimed to be in a LCOL area said they spend at least $400 and that you can’t get lower than that. Very out of touch and not true).

I keep seeing Redditors saying that $1 mil for retirement is nothing (despite millions of Americans right now at retirement age having nothing to retire on).

Lots of people saying $100k is a pittance, that $400k HHI is “normal for two working professionals”. People complaining how they have to spend over $1 mil for a starter home (even though they could move to a cheaper area of the country and pay a fraction of that).

The new thing now is that Redditors have changed the definition of working class to mean “anyone who works for someone else, regardless of their income, including surgeons and hedge fund managers”. When really, the actual definition of working class is a lower middle class or poor person who generally is a manual laborer or works an unskilled or low-skilled job. The professional class is not working class, no matter what Redditors think.

I have said it before, but I have to wonder if Reddit just has a lot of bots purposefully infecting the site trying to cause class warfare. I mean, think about it.
