    Idk if you know what you’re rallying against. People aren’t saying companies should just blindly hire someone. People are saying it’s worrying that the most profitable and culturally relevant industry isn’t attracting a diverse crowd. That could mean there’s rampant gatekeeping, nepotism, sexism, abuse, etc. it’s like when men complain of the ratio of men to women on dating apps—they’re not saying to pretend there’s more women (like scamming numbers or somehow tricking women to joining), they’re alerting people that the app doesn’t provide ideal conditions to attract more women (or I guess less men). Like a skewed dating app (except much much worse) having less diversity on tech hurts everyone.
