Online influencers, podcasters, advertisers, social media product managers, political lobbyists, cryptocurrency protocol programmers, digital/NFT artists, most of the media production industry, those people w/ leaf blowers moving dust around, political commentators (e.g. fox & friends), super PACs, most NGOs, "professional" sports, various 3 letter agencies & their associated online "influence" campaigns, think tanks about machine consciousness, autonomous weapon manufacturers, & so on. Just a few off the top of my head but anything to do w/ shuffling numbers in databases is in that category as well. I haven't read "Bullshit Jobs" yet but it's on the list & I'll get to it eventually so I'm sure I can come up w/ a few more after reading it.
You mean Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B?
It's curious that you only list digital/NFT artists, and fail to see the problems that many of these solve.
In a world re-calibrated to pure problem-solving, presumably we'd ask a mime or other non-digital artist for news on what our government is doing (instead of the Fake News Media), and then an interpretive dancer, not a lobbyist, would intermediate between government and industry? The trombone players would investigate financial crimes, the bassists would monitor our airspace, and the guy currently painting a mural on a wall would be responsible for DoorDashing a cargo ship's worth of food and supplies to a disaster zone (not the bad NGOs)?
Yeah, this is just a list of jobs you don't understand and/or make you feel sad.
Lol, you just listed things you don't like from a very privileged urban (my assumption) living space.
So what actual problem do NFT artists work to solve?
Boredom
You don't know me & I don't know you so just address the substance of the post instead of worrying about where I grew up & what hardships I faced.
