We've been in that stage for a long time, it's just getting some extra attention now because Veritasium made a video.

It sounds cringe, but the right attention is the right attention. I can't complain.

I agree, I just wanted to emphasize that this isn't a new development or an aberration, but the natural result of the perverse incentives that exist in a capitalist economy.
