Reddit is the ultimate fanatic echo chamber. I wouldn’t trust any opinion bubbling up there to be representative of any large group.

Yeah agree completely.

Opinions on Reddit and HN are almost always from the 5% most engaged, most online of any subgroup. These are not regular people. Is every software developer you know represented by the opinions that get upvoted on HN? Thankfully, no. Similarly the kind of people posting to /r/tiktok aren’t your regular TikTok user by a long shot.
