I absolutely agree that many people should not have kids, and nobody should feel pressured to do so, and everybody should think twice before they do if it really is what they want and they are ready for that.
But as “general advice”? Sorry, but this is ridiculous.
Saying this as a fucking exhausted parent of a baby. It is hard, but absolutely no regrets here.
Of course if you value your own free time and activities above everything else, then yes, definitely please do not have kids. There will be no time for anything but baby care and the bare minimum household maintenance for a long time.

When I was born, there were 4 billion people in the world. There are now over 8 billion. That means in just my lifetime, there are twice as many humans on Earth. I 100% feel the planet is over populated, and that it is a major factor in issues we face today. I absolutely think people should be encouraged not to have children.
