You can argue over who's at the top, but we absolutely (currently) do have cushier jobs than writers. You might not believe this, but journalists can also be highly trained workers too.
Their world got rocked by a race to the bottom, and a push towards lower-quality, rushed journalism, and yes, fake news and clickbait. Something that some of the people on this very board have absolutely helped enable.
The same thing will happen to us too. Computer programming won't be looked on seen as a highly-trained or lucrative skill, and we'll be pushed out and left to wither by some new profession who have been tricked into believing they're smarter than all the others.
This cycle has played out before, and it will play out again. Try and have some compassion for those under you, the same way you'd appreciate it when it's your turn.
