and i'm surprised people still want to signal wealth, this day and age. I would imagine you'd be treated worse by the average person, if you're signaling wealth.

Only if you live entirely on the internet.

I've never met anyone in real life that actually hates people with money.

Hating people with money is one thing.

Disliking ostentation of wealth is another one.

If you never met anyone that dislikes the latter... well perhaps you live in US.
