I think a lot of the comments where people casually dismiss salaries in the hundreds of thousands a year as too low are just attempts at flexing.

I view it more as an observation on compensation compared to value their labor brings to the employer’s bottom line.

There's some middle ground. People's salaries charted over time compared to CEO pay, productivity numbers, purchasing power, or inflation, etc, have degraded pretty badly over time.
