I keep thinking about a similarity with tech in general. Around 2010 or so the media could not stop writing articles fawning over Google and other tech companies. They placed them on such a pedestal, and in doing so, were complicit in helping them amass immense cultural capital alongside their financial capital.

It's trite at this point to say we, the readers, are part of the problem. But it does make me wonder why we keep needing to glamorize the successful. They've made it, no? Do they need to be continually propped up? Probably the human instinct for worship gone astray.
