timing is extra weird IMO, because I think the real dystopian economic inflection point is closer to 1-10 years away, so these people should be grinding while their over-paid careers still exist. But maybe they already have enough in the bank and in the monthly passive incums to retire early or fund their real dream projects. It's like how dark matter explains a gap in the math, but nobody knows what dark matter is. Definitely expecting to find out something.

I feel like they'd have a better grasp of the situation than you would, because they're inside and privy to more information and experience of how it works. I can also imagine some people see the same thing they do and are using the strategy you've suggested, but we can't see that. Tom Scott and matpat both try to avoid problems and real controversy, so if they felt something coming they would naturally dip before getting close to it.
