Is this novel? Every group that spent some large number of hours gaining some skill hates when that duration is not required for newcomers. Not every individual of that group but the group as a whole. It’s just that devaluation of one’s skill capital sucks.

I happen to think the alternative world where no one’s skill capital can be devalued sucks more, but it’s hard to build a community around that because the same hours that build skill also build taste, and when you remove the former you remove the latter.

So you get a community with garbage in it. Haha!
