Physically attractive people are going to have an advantage in many things, depending on the field. However, sometimes it doesn't matter all that much. And I think in some circumstances it works to their disadvantage esp. when it comes to women.
Some Youtube personalities have been able to succeed despite not being very physically attractive, e.g. Sabine Hossenfelder (sp.), or not even showing their face at all (e.g. Perun) They are just know WTH they are talking about and present it in relatable/funny way.

If skill and attractiveness are unrelated but there’s a filter process at some point that only lets people through if they’re hot OR talented, you’ll see a negative relationship between skill and attractiveness after the filter. the prosecutor example is interesting because it suggests that either thats not happening
