As a Google user it feels like terrible timing to be cutting costs by getting rid of the people who give feedback on whether search results are good or not.

It’s giving eating their seed corn.

Where will it all end ?

https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/dfa/distribute/chart/#quarter:135;series:Net%20worth;demographic:income;population:1,3,5,7,9,11;units:levels;range:1989.3,2023.2

https://www.statista.com/chart/19635/wealth-distribution-percentiles-in-the-us/

10 percent of the richest people in the United States own almost 70 percent of the country’s total wealth. As of Q1 of 2021, the top 10 percent held 69.8 percent of total U.S. net worth (which is the value of all assets a person holds minus all their liabilities).

The top 1% holds $38.7 trillion in wealth. Those households hold about 26% of all wealth.

I'm not seeing that innovations are the primary cause of wealth disparities or that thwarting it will help overall.

Virtually every driver of inequality is what the party is about ... according to this paper ... ending on:

One of the primary causes is "Rigging the game".
On a playing field with unequal rules, you can't win. No matter how hard you work. Change the rules to be more fair. At least then you do have a chance.
