Reddit is a dumping ground for venting just like LinkedIn is a dumping ground for bragging. You are going to get skewed perspectives.

You will see skewed perspectives but the reality is somewhere in the middle. Yes it’s incredibly hard to find a job, let alone a high paying one to keep up with the rising costs of living. And more recently we are seeing an uptick in new grad unemployment. Which is a great indicator of where in the business cycle we are at the moment.
However, there is also an element of unrealistic expectations coming to a head. New grads historically rarely got extremely high paying jobs, which seems to be an expectation especially in the tech sector. There are also a lot of people complaining about not being able to find a job with their degree that is not that in demand. A lot of people want an easy life in their 20s because they are comparing it with their parents lives in 30s and 40s.
You can only learn from normally distributed data?
It's easy to over index on data when it's the bubble you're in. I know it happens to me on Reddit. Since I see so many different subs it makes it seem like you're getting a well-rounded view of things but that can be an illusion.
