Hmm, not sure if I like all of the examples here. There is genuine value in being a distributor - a single artist doesn’t have the means to push music to all their followers, nor in many cases a following to begin with. The value of content distribution platforms is thus in logistics: getting the right content to the right people. And on the other hand, people aren’t willing to pay a lot for this. I think the bigger example of parasite culture comes in the form of individuals. People whose jobs largely work to support the office politicians and their campaigns (HR departments, mid-level managers, etc.) Then there are actual politicians, each of whom need large staffs to do the work they’ve been hired to do because the processes have been made complex enough to justify the jobs of their staffers. Or the people who think it’s okay to spend a billion dollars on a software platform for public education. Or the people who charge a billion dollars for a public education platform. The examples are everywhere these days when you look around. It’s hard to find organizations that actively weed out this behaviour. Does anyone have an example of an organization that has bucked this trend?
