An Age of Extinction Is Coming (nytimes.com)

> When young people don’t date or marry or start families, that’s the bottleneck coming for the most basic human institutions of all.

Missing the mark spectacularly:

Humans are not going through a bottleneck, or in danger of extinction (for the foreseeable future, at least).

It's every other creature facing this. And their extinction is already ongoing.

TLDR; article discusses demographics, cultural & economic changes. Not bottlenecks or extinction. Alarmist / misleading title.
