> Is there a way around this shitocracy?

Refuse to play. Switch to technologoy that the shitocracy has not gotten around to yet, or, eventually, pick up woodworking.

I am doing leatherworking as well as woodworking. No idea if it is possible to actually make money with this¹, but damned if I'm not giving it a go just to have skills in an area where AI is not a threat for the coming decade. At the very least these crafts allow me to make things which do not exist and cannot be purchased off the shelf.

1: I mean, it is, certainly. I'm just not sure if I can make money by making leather gear.

Exactly. This is why I love building web apps, shipping features easily without needing any one's approval.

Do what everyone is doing a web app.
