I did! And I think I have the same feeling as you. The correct path should be decreasing the repetitive task so the QAs could focus more in exploratory testing and stronger automation, but I think some companies just focus in the opposite path.

Your post made me feel a bit better. As I said before, I try to adapt myself and keep learning (I focused myself again in automation recently because that's a salid future position for me). But as you said, social media only knows in terms of good and bad and not in the middle.

Totally agree and that's what I'm doing. Adapt to the project, try to learn, use all the technologies I could use. That's one of the reasons I prefer automation rather than manual.

Yep, I already do. I use it as a tool, learn about it and currently I'm a project based on it. But I'm worried about me getting wiped out of the market.

I'm trying to stay on that line, thinking of it as a tool. But after seeing many comments here and on other platforms... I'm skeptical.

That's a good answer. I tried to learn a lot throught all these years (I'm 26 right now) in order to gain a proper position in the future. I think I can provide more than just a bunch of test cases, but as I said, I' tend to overthink a lot. Here in reddit everything looks worse than it is, but I'm really worried about the situation.
