Have they? I suspect in reality it's more of a correction to the early 2020's hiring frenzy, which made a lot of people overestimate what sort of compensation they can command.

Form my own POV you’re correct. The market is good, salary offers I get are normal, everything I see looks like the pre-2020 market to me. A lot of these reddit CS subs are full of kids who are either still in college or graduated into the hiring frenzy, so their perceptions are pretty skewed and they tend to catastrophize.
Plus, one weird lowball offer and a weird “explanation” from some recruiter isn’t indicative of a trend.
