I think the Parent is right, though. Bullshit Jobs was about jobs that were pointless, but, it's central thesis had to do with the efficiencies of automation and increases in productivity. This is an interesting inversion of that thesis which suggests that while there have been great productivity gains at the expense of many low-skill workers, those same low-skill workers still provide value added work to skilled employees. It is a careful balancing act between the two.
