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?
- bandana 5y agoAccording to https://subredditstats.com/r/antiwork 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.

- AussieWog93 5y agoTo 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 https://subredditstats.com/r/latestagecapitalism
