>I've noticed an inverse correlation between how much someone is immersed in Reddit, Twitter, and Discords and how well they function
I've noticed similar in most things too, but extend it to personality in general. Like the Munger quote "Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome,”. Show me their information source and I'll show you their attitude.
Reddit discord have that vibe, HN people have another vibe, Twitter/Instagram people have another. Any social media with feedback (like, share, upvote) have a audience capture feedback loop.
If I could, I would've probably preferred to get this information of candidate in a job interview on top of their technical knowledge. (I assume Google et al already do these screening)
