      True lol, it’s never not been, it’s hardwired into humans, but it was nice when certain industries were new and there wasn’t so much buildup for the enthrenchment

        Yes I think when an industry is new is about the only time that existing power structures don’t dominate, albeit briefly. I saw this up close with the advent of the WWW. In the early days, coding HTML was like working magic, and there were no established players who had a lock on how to do it better than what any enterprising young person could teach themselves through tinkering.
