> There's no way in hell many of the people I've talked to on here about a bunch of different things would ever have those conversations with me, or any conversation probably, in person.

In San Francisco there are tech millionaires everywhere. Just like almost every other group, some are nice, gregarious, excited to talk to anyone; others are rude, snobbish and judgmental. You're likely underestimating yourself and others.

This. The side effect is OP is likely humble which is a great side effect. But I’d say it should stop there and not extend into thinking others are better than yourself. A lot of $$$ is people making different decisions and those decisions end up on a bell curve of chance. Some end up making peanuts, a lot make something ok, and some others make millions. I’d say there’s a big fallacy with equating “I got a good dice roll on joining the right startup” with “I am a higher class of individual”.

Haven't been to San Francisco myself, but Vancouverites tend to be cold in general, moreso when there's an obvious class divide between two people.

I've noticed the difference between the kinds of people who will respond to me or the tone of their responses in public just based on what clothes I happen to be wearing that day.

I'm not saying everyone out there is shallow and judging of people, just that people tend to prefer to interact with people they feel is on the same level as them in a public situation.

HN removes all that and leaves just a username and words.

> In San Francisco

I'd wager most people on here are not in San Francisco.

Fewer than 10% in the Bay Area, and far fewer than that in SF.

Sorry, I may have slightly misstated my point... I live in San Francisco, it's just been my experience that wealth and success doesn't always make people inaccessible.
