    I'd wager that a large majority of Hubski users work jobs that actually do "matter", both to themselves and society at large.

I started a reply on this subject yesterday but didn't post it because it became a rant.

What is left out of the "bullshit jobs" equation is that every dollar paid to an employee (in the private sector) must be freely given by a customer. The employee may not see the value, but someone must.

This doesn't mean that every act by every worker generates revenue, far from it. But an employer cannot remain an employer long without customers that continue giving them money.
