If there are enough engineers who do not want to be forced to do chores unrelated to what they excel at, what they don't see benefitting their lives and what has dangers to their mental health it is likely you won't have many to build your video platform left.

Why should engineer choose this culture compared to other cultures where he can just build things and provide value at what they are best at?

Knowing other engineers most would avoid such activities where they can't use their skills valuably like a plague.

Also you would lose goal/results oriented people. The ones who are best at reaching those goals are the ones who can not stand doing anything that does not align woth those goals.




you won't have many to build your video platform left.

I’m not building a video platform. It’s already there. I’m just, totally hypocritically, fixing the company that operates it.
