@dobartim That's a very generic answer, doesn't address the problems mentioned above. I know I'm just wasting my time outlining them because those who can make changes are not interested in them, as current system makes them richer and richer. So why care?
But those who just started recently have so small success, uncorrelated with the amount of effort they put in. Many leave disappointed, looking at the circlejerk of whales.
Who really can make a change and is it possible to contact them?
