No, it's more confirmation bias and the fact I actively avoid appeals to authority.

I know full well if I pointed out my background in certain situations, I'd get a massive amount of agreement even if what I'm saying is against common narratives.

But the difference I'm commenting on is less about how people perceive what I write about and more the shift in how common it is for people who clearly have no idea what they are talking about to have the confidence and wherewithal to debate a topic entirely out of their element with little more than an appeal to gut feelings.
