This is also my own experience. For my recent job I was paid a ridiculously big amount of money for what? For basically working on a website that is not even useful to society in any meaningful sense. Did I bring any value to the society? No. It even feels I diminished it somehow. And the disproportion between my earnings and those of my fellow colleagues in other fields is solely because at this point my skills are valued by the marked more, not that I am "better" than them in any other way. Something is broken and I don't believe it can be fixed easily.
