That's more nuance than most readers will apply. Especially with the popular conception of "nobody wants to work."
If you're in the "nobody wants to work anymore" camp, this headline will confirm your belief as it is easily taken as "look at how many people don't want to work!"
It's negligent reporting.

There are multiple layers of filters and network effects and algorithms between most content and most people. Feeds like HN don't suffer the effects of the filters and algorithms, but are very sensitive to network effects (we aren't here for underwater basket weaving, we want the nerdy techy startup stuff. ) The target audience includes or overlaps with the antiwork crowd. Whatever algorithms and filters select for this content rewards the writer regardless of accuracy or quality of prose, because it gets clicks.
