(Coined by Nickle) An economic observation stating that in a modern Performocracy, the financial reward for a job is inversely proportional to its necessity for human survival.
Essentially, the more vital a profession is to the actual functioning of society (e.g., nurses, teachers, sanitation workers, farmers), the lower the pay. Conversely, the more trivial, performative, and non-essential the role is (e.g., influencers, streamers, reaction vloggers), the higher the potential earnings. It is the realization that we have built an economy where pretending to do things pays significantly better than actually doing them.
