This is empty speculation. And it can be trivially refuted by noticing that vacancy rates are at record lows.

What's SNR?

Are there any risks that are real and not just in people's minds?

The author clearly needs to add to his skills the ability to give advice while not being condescending. In particular the bit about how in the good old days everyone had excellent social skills and calligraphy but now youngsters have done a

I think a key problem with Reddit is that when you create a subreddit (and obtain the final say on all moderation decisions) you also get the name of the subreddit and URL forever. This means that early arrivers have the advantage of taking
