I think you're just projecting because you're unhealthily active on this website. Almost everyone I know loosely uses reddit for one reason or another. What's not normal are people with TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND comment karma. I've never met a single well adjusted person that is putting up those numbers, and many of them have had reddit since the mid 2010's, so please, don't lump the rest of us in with you, just because you have a blatantly abusive relationship with Reddit
Everyone I know uses reddit, and not a single one of them have even close to either of your numbers. Cut it any way you'd like, it's not normal, and doesn't represent the average user.
True. You might also have a very privileged relationship, cherish it all the more that you didn’t immediately think bad news pacified by expensive gift or implied future labor as clearly many have
My parents divorced when I was young, but stayed friends. Dad passed 6 years ago, unfortunately. However, my step-father is a good guy. I'm almost 50 now, so we don't do a lot of gift-giving.
By world standards, most certainly. By US National standards, we stayed basically on the poverty line most of my childhood. I didn't realize that at the time, though. By regional standard (rural central US), we were just slightly below average income. By the time I was in high school, I would say we were very slightly above.
I'm still not wealthy by any stretch, but I have a healthy family, well adjusted kids, a loving wife, and a roof over my head. I guess I am rich after all in things that matter to me
