Great point. I'll add that even within communities that are narrower than the whole Internet, we probably have more context-specific relationships than we did in the past, and that we compare ourselves to others within those contexts. I'm almost certainly not in the top 10% of coders on HN, or in, say, the top 10% of pianists on r/piano. There's a decent chance that I'm in the top 10% of pianists on HN and the top 10% of coders on r/piano, but I don't compare myself to others in those communities on those terms.
