    America is ~5% of the global population alone. Europe is twice that. So by living in the west you’re in the top ~15% sure, but not necessarily the top 1%.

      I mean, I agree as a whole, but I’m assuming that the online population trends upwards socioeconomically. 140k USD isn’t that high of a salary for the US coastal elite.

        Maybe a fair assumption for developing countries, but in countries where internet access approaches or exceeds 90% idk how you could justify that assumption
