I see a similar theme with most techbros or rich VC groups. They say they dont like politics but they move fast to influence policy by buying influence. See what's happening with Trump and the tech companies.

What tech connected leaders really hate is the plebs being informed and having an opinion on policy. I see the same thing with the All-In podcast. All round glee on that podcast with things that negatively impact the working classes.

Billionaires are for billionaires while controlling the media.

Its really interesting how this stories about "getting somehow richt with a startup" seems to be more portrayed on social media than on classic media?

I guess this is because on classic media, you have limited slots for sending - on social media, everybody can broadcast (youtubes slogan was "broadcast yourself", IIRC, for a long time?)

This allows those shows to be produced at nearly minimum costs - and since this is content is viewed by a lot of people, the creators see that "inviting the next rich guy" drives traffic & clicks, Id say?
