I think I probably agree with the object level advice here (i.e. “be careful”, “make sure you have a good culture fit”, “make sure you have an exit plan if you can afford one”), but it’s framed a weirdly.
I agree with Tilia that DT, from the outside at least, looked like a pretty extreme outlier in terms of how bad group houses can get and not a good place to draw general conclusions from.
I think there was also a ton on coronavirus-related-drama in lots of houses, and that this is more of a feature of “the pandemic is legitimately stressful, and I think it makes everything much harder for everyone, especially when multiple people have to suddenly renegotiate norms.”
This is roughly my take.
