I don't think you need a conspiracy to get to a place where in aggregate the decisions of people in control create or perpetuate a poor underclass.
Just like some companies make decisions for the benefit of the next quarter, rather than the next 5 years. If you are able to make a decision that increases near term metrics, at the expense of some other metric you aren't even paying attention to (like making poor people poorer) I can see that happening independently thousands of times a day.
Take payday loans, more commonly used by people with a lower socio-economic standing. They aren't there to create an underclass, they are there to provide a service (loans) at a cost that matches the risk (ignoring the conversation about the cost not matching the risk due to predatory loans). But if decisions are made to increase profit from payday loans, a natural consequence is that the underclass is going to be made more of an underclass.
This is just one example, and it's clearly got some issues. I have no problem imagining many other decisions that will help create an underclass. Maybe the impact is 2 or 5 steps removed, but each one makes a difference, and leads to in aggregate "the rich work to keep the poor, poor".
But what do I know. I'm a developer who took one econ course.
Yeah, the obvious point is that Batman is a billionaire businessman who could pay his taxes and get Gotham to hire some decent police but instead of actually focusing on the structural problems that cause crime in Gotham, he runs around banging models and beating up street criminals.
The Batman comparison is a great example, because the criticisms of the 10x developer match exactly the problems with batman.
> 3. 10x engineers laptop screen background color is typically black (they always change defaults). Their keyboard keys such as i, f, x are usually worn out than of a, s, and e (email senders).
I doubt you would get a positive reaction because listening to music isn't considered a problem. There might be a lot of reasons for that, one of them might be that most people don't sit and exclusively listen to music.
I would say yes, since "secure" is a spectrum and there's nothing about a YouTube video that means the information is lower quality or less valuable than any other source.
There are thousands of hours of excellent cybersecurity content hosted on YouTube. The possibility of losing this wealth of information and history is shocking to me.
Time to start the archive effort. And to finally appreciate what so many other communities have gone through when they've found themselves on the wrong side of one of the internet behemoths. I feel naive.
Shocking indeed. Imagine if this thinking was applied to other classes of content. Banning game emulator videos. Banning piracy videos. Banning unauthorized iphone repair videos.

There are a ton more, these are just ones I've been watching in the past 6 months or so.
