That subreddit has existed for years though? Accepting your life for what it is goes back millennia in some religions, so that is not a new trend either. Greek and Roman philosophy is absolutely filled with people stating that striving for political or monetary gain is a fools' errand, so that is not something new either.

Perhaps this is merely a case of the Baader Meinhoff phenomenon and you suddenly notice it more than earlier?

According to https://subredditstats.com/r/antiwork the subreddit was almost empty 2 years ago, and the subscriber count only started going in the past few months.

Yeah because of the labor bargaining position, the great resignation, etc., it's their moment.

Hmm interesting. Maybe it's my own bias as well, embraced my talent for uselessness long ago haha.

To be fair, r/antiwork shares a lot of content with r/latestagecapitalism, which was growing steadily long before the pandemic: https://subredditstats.com/r/latestagecapitalism
