You can really tell a lot about Lemmy’s demographics by looking at the upvoye/downvote ratio on these 2 comments. Of course 100k a year isn’t “nothing”, it probably puts you into the 10th percentile in earnings for this country.
In 2022, $100k/yr puts you in the 77th percentile. Having your ruling class be in the top 23% of earners is very low.
