It was easy to dismiss content in those days as the ravings of a lunatic especially because as a pre-pod or pod student you might have a mentor who was pretty happy and pretty cool.
You would think they could just dismiss the site back then, but actually during this admission crisis in the late 90s/early 2000s the most visible negative site Podiatry Bytes was mentioned by name and partially blamed by leaders in Podiatry Management for the crisis.

The horrendous outcome of this decline was that finally no student went without a residency and more got surgical ones. Also residency salaries suddenly increased at most residences and most residences were actually starting to really court students for the first time ever.
 
The people receiving these pay raises are market managers who oversee around a dozen stores. Their total pay, including bonuses and stock awards, will increase from $320,000 to $420,000 on the low end and from $570,000 to $620,000 on the high end, according to a Walmart spokesperson.

Starting base pay for the market manager position is increasing nearly 25% to $160,000, with increases to the stock grants and bonuses making up the rest.

What's the starting offer for DPMs after school, residency, fellowship? 🤣🤣🤣

There are 4600 Walmart in the USA

Podiatry Reddit. Its not as cool as Reddit Bunions, but we take what we are given.
Is Reddit a site you have to register or is it a site anyone can visit. Any clue who the person is who wrote the post, or is it all anonymous?

Anyone can visit. Anyone can create an account.

You and he have fought it out semi-recently over podiatry residencies and I'm fairly certain you butted heads occasionally 10+ years ago when I was still a pre-pod. The guy has written a couple of pretty decent posts describing how overvalued/problematic podiatry partnerships are - that's what I choose to remember about him. He's out there somewhere on the east coast coding very aggressively so the rest of us can look semi-tame by comparison.
