There’s a book Bullshit Jobs that explores this phenomenon. Freakonomics also did an episode referring to the book, which I found interesting.

Bullshit Jobs: A Theory is a 2018 book by anthropologist David Graeber that postulates the existence of meaningless jobs and analyzes their societal harm. He contends that over half of societal work is pointless and becomes psychologically destructive when paired with a work ethic that associates work with self-worth

Ehh. Whichever way he goes, there’s always going to be a “JD had him killed” conspiracy theory.

I am so done with other people telling me I’m not allowed to enjoy something because they have moral issues with the artist. I’m still going to watch movies produces by the Weinstein company, and probably Kevin Spacey’s work too and not feel the least bit bad about it.

Or in other words, cuck licenses.
